Washington — The Washington Wizards are preparing to finish the 2025-26 campaign without star guard Trae Young, whose season is now considered “likely over,” according to the organization.
The decision arrives as multiple NBA clubs turn their attention toward next year’s draft, fueling what league observers describe as widespread tanking across the association.
No official medical update or return timeline was provided, but the Wizards signaled they do not expect Young back on the floor before the regular-season finale.
The 27-year-old was averaging career-high numbers before the shutdown, and his absence leaves Washington short-handed entering the season’s final stretch.
