Trae Young Signs Four-Year, $212M Deal to Stay With Wizards

Trae Young re-signed with the Washington Wizards on a four-year, $212 million contract after opting out of the 2026-27 option, with a deal that reportedly includes a player option in year four; he battled a knee injury and appeared in only five games for Washington after a midseason trade from Atlanta; in 15 combined games with Hawks and Wizards he averaged 17.9 points and 8.0 rebounds, and the Wizards, aided by adding Anthony Davis from Dallas last season, are aiming for a playoff push in the Eastern Conference with a young core.
