Wizards' Trae Young: Expected to sign three-year deal
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Wizards in free agency, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Young plans to decline his $48 million player option for the 2026-27 season, and while he's expected to meet with other teams, the Wizards are the clear favorites. Windhorst adds that the Wizards are preparing to offer him a very large contract, and it sounds like there's mutual interest in getting something done quickly.
Young (quadriceps, back) isn't expected to play again in 2025-26, per Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network.
Young last appeared for the Wizards during the March 16 loss to the Warriors, and it sounds like Washington is finally ready to pull the plug on his campaign. It was an injury-ruined season for the star guard, who averaged 17.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game over 15 outings with Atlanta and Washington. Bub Carrington should continue to serve as the Wizards' top point guard the rest of the way.

Wizards' Trae Young: Still out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps/back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Young hasn't played since March 16 and will miss a 12th straight game while dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and lower-back pain. The star point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Wizards provide an update on his status. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't play again this season, as Washington has just three regular-season games remaining after Tuesday.

Wizards' Trae Young: Still out Sunday
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Young hasn't played since March 16, and while the Wizards continue to treat him as day-to-day, it'd be surprising if the veteran point guard suited up during the final week of the regular season. In his absence, Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy and Sharife Cooper remain candidates for increased roles.
