Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Though Washington's acquisition of Young became official earlier Friday, the star point guard won't be ready to make his Wizards debut while he continues to recover from a right quad bruise, which kept him sidelined for the Hawks' last seven games before he was traded. According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, the Wizards intend to take a cautious approach with Young as he recovers from the quad issue as well as a prior MCL sprain, so the 27-year-old could be at risk of missing additional time beyond Friday before he returns to the court.
