Trae Young Fantasy Stats

Washington Wizards point guard Trae Young (knee, quadriceps) is cleared for training camp and eager to push his way back into the league's star conversation, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. "People think I'm just a ball-dominant person. It's hilarious to me," Young said, adding that the best version of his game may not mean the most points or assists. The four-time All-Star played only 15 games last season because of MCL and quadriceps injuries in his right leg, averaging 17.9 points and 8.0 assists, including five appearances after the January trade to Washington. His workload should climb now that he is healthy, but Anthony Davis (finger) and No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa give the Wizards more mouths to feed. Young's assists should still anchor his fantasy value, though a return to his career 25.1-point scoring pace may be tougher in this setup.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young is framing his offseason around health after an injury-wrecked 2025-26, telling Michael Scotto of HoopsHype that he looked too far ahead last season and plans a more present-focused approach. Young, who re-signed long-term, reiterated that Washington is where he wants to be and that he intends to grow with the team's young core. For fantasy, this is a bounce-back setup: a healthy Young is an elite hub, a career 25.1-point, 9.8-assist producer who commands the ball on a rebuilding roster with usage to spare. Knee and quad problems held him to exactly 15 games last season, so availability is the whole question. A present-focused, healthy Young would be a first-round-caliber assists-and-threes source; the mindset shift matters only if it keeps him on the floor.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young intends to sign a massive four-year, $212 million deal to stay with the organization. According to Shams Charania, Young will get a four-year deal with a player option in the final year of the deal. Young recently declined a $49 million player option for a long-term deal in free agency. The Wizards didn't want to risk losing Young and gave him a hefty extension to stick around in Washington. Young was acquired by the Wizards mid-season and only played five games with the organization before being shut down for the rest of the year. Despite barely playing for the team, the Wizards view Young as a key piece of their future. Now, the Wizards have Young locked up to play alongside Alexander Sarr and whoever the team decides to draft with the first overall pick on Tuesday night.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young plans to opt out of his final season and become a free agent, according to Marc J. Spears. Young has a player option worth nearly $49 million, but instead plans to become an unrestricted free agent. Young was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in early January. He made five appearances for the Wizards before being shut down in March. The Wizards remain the favorite to land Young, but he'll now be free to go anywhere this offseason. The departure of Young could impact who the Wizards select in the upcoming NBA Draft. Young only played in 15 games last season, but he clearly doesn't believe that will impact his value on the open market. It's difficult to pass up nearly $50 million guaranteed, but Young believes he can land a better deal this offseason.

According to Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network, Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (back, quadriceps) isn't expected to suit up again this season. Young hasn't played since March 16 against the Golden State Warriors due to lingering back and quadriceps issues. The 27-year-old has appeared in just 15 games this season, averaging 17.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per contest during an injury-riddled campaign.

Washington Wizards point guard Trae Young (back, quadriceps) will miss a 10th straight game on Saturday against the Miami Heat. Young made five appearances with his new squad before sustaining a right quadriceps contusion in mid-March. He is also dealing with lower back pain. With only a week left in the regular season, it appears likely that Young's return won't happen until the 2026-27 campaign. Bub Carrington and Sharife Cooper will continue to split the point guard duties in Saturday's game. Carrington holds the starting job and has enjoyed a good nine-game stretch, with averages of 14.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quadriceps) will miss Saturday's game against the Thunder, marking his third straight absence after suffering a quad contusion earlier this week. Bub Carrington should continue starting at point guard and remains a short-term fantasy add after posting 10 points, one three-pointer, six rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes last game, though managers should expect some inefficiency and turnovers. Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley (adductor), if available, could also take on larger offensive roles with Young sidelined.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quad) will miss his second straight game Thursday against the Pistons and may also be at risk of missing more time with a back-to-back coming up. Bub Carrington should continue to start after dropping 30 points with six three-pointers, four rebounds, and two assists in 38 minutes last game, putting him firmly on the fantasy playoff streaming radar for points and threes. Jaden Hardy added 16 points with four triples, two steals, and one block in 32 minutes and remains a viable deep-league scoring option while Young is out.

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quad) played 21 minutes on Monday in a loss to the Warriors, finishing with 21 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block. He left the game after colliding with Will Richard and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He'll also miss Tuesday's game against the Pistons, leaving more work for Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson with Bilal Couliably (heel), Kyshawn George (elbow), Alex Sarr (hamstring), and Leaky Black (ankle) all ruled out, along with Trae. Young's next chance to return will be in Thursday's home rematch with the Pistons

Washington Wizards point guard Trae Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He will miss the final quarter due to a right quadriceps contusion. Young sustained the injury in the third quarter after colliding with Warriors guard Will Richard. During the closing moments, Washington's backcourt will also be without Bub Carrington, who was ejected after receiving two technical fouls. Sharife Cooper and Tre Johnson will take on larger roles. Before leaving early, Young amassed 21 points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes. The Wizards will likely head into Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons without Young.
