Trae Young's first stat line with the Wizards is here, though it was merely 1 ejection.

Rockets 123-118 Wizards. Late in the third quarter, when Eason clearly pushed down Watkins on offense and the referee ignored it, then shoved him again on the ensuing defensive play, a conflict erupted with both sides exchanging words. Trae Young, in street clothes, rushed onto the floor to stand up for his teammate and was ejected.

In the end, Eason received two technical fouls and was also ejected.

After the game, Trae Young tweeted: "Don't expect me to always get ejected. When I return, I'll bring the energy and fight for my brothers."

According to a report from insider Shams Charania,Trae Young is set to make his Wizards debut this Friday in a home game against the Jazz.Wizards head coach Keefe confirmed the news, stating that Young is expected to play around 17-20 minutes.

The Hawks recently traded Trae Young to the Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, without involving any draft picks, making him the first major NBA star to be traded this year. Since taking his talents to Washington, Young has been sidelined until now due to a sprained medial collateral ligament and a quadriceps strain in his right knee.

Although they haven't played together yet, noted reporter Marc Stein revealedthat the Wizards are expected to agree to a 3-year contract extension with Trae Young this upcoming offseason.

Trae Young was born on September 19, 1998, stands 6'2" with a 6'3" wingspan, was the 5th overall pick in the 2018 draft, has been selected to 4 All-Star games, made one All-NBA Third Team, led the league in assists once, and has consistently posted impressive stats. He even led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals in his third season.

In summary, although he was "discarded" by the Hawks, it cannot be denied that the 27-year-old Trae Young remains a top-tier guard in the league. His arrival gives the Wizards a star-caliber primary ball-handler once again.

As for Anthony Davis's debut with the Wizards, due to his hand injury not fully healing, it might have to wait until next season.

So far this season, the Wizards hold a record of 16 wins and 44 losses, ranking 13th in the East and having the 5th-worst record in the league, giving them a chance at a top draft pick with up to a 14% probability for the No. 1 selection in the upcoming summer lottery.
