Young Closer to Wizards Debut, Davis Still Out

Trae Young is getting closer to his Washington Wizards debut after being traded from Atlanta, while Anthony Davis remains sidelined following his acquisition from Dallas.

The Washington Wizards provided updates on their two recently acquired injured stars. Young, who hasn't played since Dec. 27 due to an MCL sprain and thigh bruise, will ramp up basketball activities and be evaluated next week. The 27-year-old has been practicing in limited settings according to GM Will Dawkins.

Meanwhile, 32-year-old Davis, who last played on Jan. 8 with ligament damage in his hand, continues his rehabilitation. After visiting hand surgeon Steven Shin in Los Angeles, he'll be reevaluated in two weeks. Coach Brian Keefe emphasized following the process with both players as they recover from their respective injuries.
