Trae Young and his first major moment with the Washington Wizards came before he even stepped on the floor. The four-time All-Star was ejected Monday night despite not being in uniform during the Wizards 123118 loss to the Houston Rockets.Young left the bench during an on-court confrontation between Houston forward Tari Eason and Washington rookie Jamir Watkins and began arguing with officials, which resulted in an immediate ejection.Eason was also thrown out during the sequence.The incident was particularly unusual considering Young has yet to officially debut for Washington. The star guard was traded from the Atlanta Hawks on January 7th and has been sidelined since late December while recovering from injuries to his right leg.Earlier that same day, Young had shared an update with fans about his long-awaited return.He announced on social media that he plans to make his Wizards debut Thursday at home against the Utah Jazz.Young later joked about the strange situation following his ejection, downplaying the moment and suggesting it would not become a trend.Dont expect me to get ejected too many more times D.C., Young wrote on X.Dont expect me to get ejected too many more times D.C. .. but Im definitely bringing that energy & competitiveness when Im back for my brothers!
