Trae Young is set to remain the face of the Washington Wizards after agreeing to a new four-year contract worth approximately $212 million, according to ESPN. The deal includes a player option in the final season and secures Young’s long-term future in the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n
To finalize the agreement, Young declined his $49 million player option and chose to commit to Washington ahead of free agency. While the contract falls short of the maximum salary the Wizards could have offered, it matches the maximum amount Young would have been eligible to receive elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Young, who reportedly identified Washington as his only preferred trade destination back in January, has now reaffirmed his commitment to the franchise and its promising young core as the Wizards continue their rebuilding process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
