What happened to Trae Young? Live injury updates for Warriors vs. Wizards on Monday 3/16/26

With 7:49 left in the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Trae Young was replaced by Bub Carrington. Young went to set a pick near the three-point line but got bumped by his defender and then crashed into the player he was going to set a screen on, injuring his leg in the process.

Young went to the locker room and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Prior to exiting, Young contributed 21 points, two rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 21 minutes of action. Carrington will be the biggest beneficiary if Young is out for an extended period of time.

Washington plays on Tuesday night against Detroit at home and then hosts the Pistons again at home on Thursday. Oklahoma City travels to Washington on Saturday, so the next three games will be brutal.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
