Young Nears Wizards Return, Davis Still Out

Trae Young is progressing toward his Washington Wizards debut after ramping up basketball activities, while Anthony Davis continues hand rehabilitation and remains sidelined.

The Wizards announced that Young, acquired from Atlanta in January, is recovering from an MCL sprain and thigh bruise. The 27-year-old last played on Dec. 27 and will be evaluated next week after increasing his basketball activities.

Meanwhile, Davis, obtained from Dallas earlier this month, is rehabilitating ligament damage in his hand. The 32-year-old, who last played on Jan. 8, was recently reevaluated and will be seen again in two weeks.
