"Young, who is set to make his debut for the Wizards on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz, was ejected for leaving the bench area in Washington's 123-118 loss at home to the Houston Rockets. The four-time All-Star, who was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in early January, stepped on to the court on Monday to protest a non-call against Tari Eason in the third quarter and was issued a technical foul and ejection."
"Don't expect me to get ejected too many more times D.C. .. but I'm definitely bringing that energy & competitiveness when I'm back for my brothers! Young has been nursing MCL and quad injuries, and has not played since the end of December."
"The Wizards have been one of the worst teams in the NBA over the last decade, and have reached the playoffs just once in the last seven seasons. They hope the recent arrivals of Young, who averages 25.2 points per game over his career, and 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis will revive their fortunes."
Trae Young, acquired by the Washington Wizards from the Atlanta Hawks in early January, was ejected for leaving the bench area during a 123-118 home loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. The four-time All-Star stepped onto the court to protest a non-call involving Tari Eason in the third quarter, receiving a technical foul and ejection. Young has been recovering from MCL and quad injuries and has not played since late December. He targeted Thursday for his debut against the Utah Jazz. Young joked about the incident on social media, expressing his competitive energy. The Wizards acquired Young and Anthony Davis, a 10-time All-Star currently sidelined with a hand injury, hoping to revitalize a franchise that has struggled significantly over the past decade.
