Wizards star Trae Young leaves game with Warriors early with quad injury
Washington Wizards star Trae Young left his game against the Golden State Warriors early Monday night due to a leg injury.
Young collided with Warriors guard Will Richard while trying to go through a screen midway through the third quarter at Capital One Arena, and was called for an offensive foul after knocking down Richard. Young immediately began limping when officials called the foul, visibly shaken.

He remained on the ground for another play, still in noticeable pain, before finally being removed from the game. He limped off the field, returned to the locker room and did not return.
The Wizards quickly ruled out Young with what they called a right quad contusion. Additional details of his injury are not yet known.
Young finished the night with a team-high 21 points after hitting 7 of 10 from the field. He also had five assists and two rebounds. Monday night was just Young’s fourth game with the Wizards. He was traded earlier this month by the Atlanta Hawks before the deadline.
