Young recorded 22 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 110-103 loss to Charlotte.
Young put together another strong final line Monday, though it resulted in a loss. He's been facilitating at an elite level to kick off the 2026-27 campaign, registering three double-doubles in four appearances, and he's been almost as impressive as a scorer, putting up 20 or more points in all four games.

Wizards' Trae Young: Pops for team-high 25 in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Young totaled 25 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 win over Chicago.
The 25 points led the Wizards on the night, as Young just missed extending his double-double streak to three games to begin the season. He's looking as productive as ever in his first full campaign for Washington, averaging 22.3 points, 11.3 assists, 2.7 threes, 1.7 boards and 1.0 steals so far in 2026-27 while launching 8.7 three-point attempts a game, volume comparable to his last couple years in Atlanta.

Wizards' Trae Young: Dishes out 12 assists Friday
Rotowire
Young posted 22 points (5-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), a rebound, 12 assists and a steal across 37 minutes in Friday's 112-102 loss to the Raptors.
Even though the Wizards suffered their first loss of the season, Young posted an impressive stat line and excelled as a playmaker. Young has posted at least 20 points and 12 assists in each of his first two games of the season, and he's enjoying a sizzling start to the season, although it remains to be seen if he can keep it up for an extended stretch -- and if he stays healthy as well.

Wizards' Trae Young: Double-doubles with two steals
Rotowire
Young closed with 20 points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 13 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 victory over Milwaukee.
Young had a tough time getting his shot to drop and missed all six of his three-point attempts, but he did a nice job of creating contact and getting to the line for easy buckets. He also finished with just one turnover in 38 minutes of floor time, an impressive feat given his game-high 13 dimes.

Wizards' Trae Young: Hands out 11 assists
Rotowire
Young finished with 11 points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
On one hand, Young struggled to find his shooting rhythm, making just one field goal and relying heavily on free throws for his scoring. However, the veteran point guard dazzled as a playmaker with 11 assists, even if the eight turnovers were concerning. Still, the fact that Young posted a double-double despite his offensive inefficiency is a great sign of him being ready for the start of the 2026-27 regular season. Young's passing volume remains an important fantasy asset, but his ball security and shooting efficiency will be worth monitoring. If he stays healthy, he should have a sizable role as the team's primary floor general in a dynamic lineup alongside AJ Dybantsa, Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis.
Young finished with 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Thursday's 111-109 preseason win over the Knicks.
Young made the most of his abbreviated playing time and looked good orchestrating the offense alongside several projected starters, such as Kyshawn George, AJ Dybantsa and Anthony Davis. The veteran guard's combination of perimeter scoring and elite playmaking should remain central to Washington's offensive approach once the regular season begins, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about his limited playing time in the preseason.

Wizards' Trae Young: Season likely finished
Rotowire
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: Managing quad, back injuries
Rotowire
The Wizards announced Saturday that Young aggravated a right quadriceps injury in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors and is also dealing with lower back irritation after recently undergoing imaging.
Young sustained a quad contusion in the third quarter of Monday's contest and will be sidelined for a third straight game Sunday. Though the Wizards indicated that Young won't need surgery for either of the quad or back injuries, he lacks a clear timeline to resume playing, as the team is expected to proceed conservatively with him. While Young is sidelined, Bub Carrington should continue to start at point guard, and two-way player Sharife Cooper should handle a heightened role in the rotation.
