Trae Young was kicked out … before he played with the Wizards
As has often been the case since his arrival in the American capital, Trae Young was on the bench of his new team on the occasion of receiving the Rocket. A game in which the leader was forced to watch the second half from the locker room, after being sent off.
In the third quarter, Tarry Eason sent Jameer Watkins to the ground without a referee’s sanction. Trae Young then went to the referee who was across the way from the action to report this missed whistle. At the same time, Tarry Eason pushes Jameer Watkins a second time and the tension between the two players grows. And Trae Young continues to talk to the referee before actually stepping onto the court.
“I’m not sure (what happened)”, raconte Brian Keefe. “I think he wanted to defend his teammates and that’s a good thing. The referees forgot to blow the whistle when our guy was brought down. I really liked the way his teammates defended him. No matter what happened, I’m proud of him because he was willing to stand up for his teammates, and I appreciate those things a lot.”

The referee then stops play to review the sequence as a whole. Tony Brothers decides to issue two technical fouls to Tara Eason, who is ejected, as is Trae Young.
“Means a lot”assures Bilal Coulibaly of Trey Young’s intervention. “He’s been very involved since he got here, on and off the field, whether we’re flying or when we’re in another city. He’s very involved and he was able to show that to everyone today.”
In any case, the new recruit from Washington took the situation with humor, via a post on X/Twitter.
“DC, don’t expect me to get kicked out often”writes Trae Young. “But when I come back, I’m definitely going to bring energy and competitiveness for my brothers.”
Don’t expect to get kicked out too many times DC .. but I definitely bring that energy and competitiveness when I come back for my brothers!

So Trae Young was shut down before playing his first game with Washington. The debut that should take place this Thursday, during the jazz reception. If the suspension doesn’t earn him a suspension…
