Wizards point guard Trae Young is moving closer toward his Washington debut after the club announced he's ramping up on-court activities on Thursday.
Young has been dealing with right knee and quadriceps injures. He will be re-evaluated in one week.
The Wizards also announced an update for forward Anthony Davis, who also has yet to make his team debut. Davis has ligament damage in his left hand and is making progress. He hasn't been cleared for basketball activities and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Young was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 7 in exchange for veteran guard CJ McCollum and forward Corey Kispert.
Young, a four-time All-Star, played in just 10 games this season for the Hawks and averaged 19.3 points and 8.9 assists while shooting 41.5% from the field and 30.5% from 3-point range.
Young, 27, led the league last season with 11.6 assists per game. Over eight seasons and 493 games (all starts), Young has averaged 25.2 points, 9.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per contest.
Davis was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Wizards on Feb. 4. There has been heavy speculation that Davis won't return this season.
Davis, who turns 33 in March, appeared in just 20 games this season with Dallas and averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks. He has career averages of 24.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in 807 games (800 starts) over 14 seasons with the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans (2012-19), the Los Angeles Lakers (2019-25) and Mavericks.
A 10-time All-Star, Davis was the centerpiece of the trade last February that sent Dallas star Luka Doncic to the Lakers. After his arrival with the Mavericks, Davis played only nine games because of injuries.
