Young Nears Wizards Debut, Davis Still Out

Trae Young is progressing toward his Washington Wizards debut after ramping up basketball activities, while Anthony Davis remains sidelined with hand ligament damage.

The Wizards announced Thursday that Young, who has been practicing in one-on-none and two-on-two settings, will continue his recovery from an MCL sprain and thigh bruise. The 27-year-old, last played on Dec. 27, and will be evaluated next week.

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Davis, who was rehabbing ligament damage in his hand in Dallas before the All-Star break, is now in Washington following a visit to hand surgeon Steven Shin in Los Angeles. He will be reevaluated in two weeks as he continues to recover from injuries that have kept him out since Jan. 8.
