Wizards set to negotiate contract extension for Trae Young

The Washington Wizards, holding the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, are preparing to secure Trae Young's future. Early projections indicate a potential three-year contract extension valued at $120 million. Young, acquired by the Wizards in January, has shown solid performance with averages of 15.2 points and 6.2 assists per game since the trade. The extension process follows Young's current contract, which includes a player option for $48.967 million next season. As the Wizards finalize Young's contract, they will also need to address Anthony Davis' status with the team, as his long-term commitment remains uncertain.
