Washington Wizards point guard Trae Young is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and lower back irritation, the team announced Saturday.
'Both injuries are being treated conservatively and will not require surgery at this time,' the team said in a press release. 'Further updates will be provided as appropriate.'
Young, 27, reinjured his quadriceps in the third quarter of Washington's 125-117 loss to the Golden State Warriors and did not appear in back-to-back losses to the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday and Thursday.
The Wizards (16-53) take a 14-game losing streak into their Saturday game against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder.
Acquired in a Jan. 9 trade with the Atlanta Hawks, Young made his Washington debut on March 5. It was the four-time All-Star's first action since Dec. 27 due to a quadriceps contusion and an MCL sprain.
Young has averaged 15.2 points and 6.2 assists in five starts for the Wizards. He has been limited to 20.8 minutes per game, well below his career average of 34.1.
Since being drafted No. 5 overall in 2018, Young owns career averages of 25.1 points, 9.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 498 games (all starts) with the Hawks and Wizards.
