Trae Young, a longtime nemesis of the Knicks, is being shut down before the Knicks game due to a quad contusion and lower-back inflammation. The Wizards are tanking for a better draft position and need to finish in the bottom four to avoid giving up their top eight protected pick to the Knicks. Young, who only played five games with the Wizards since being acquired from the Hawks in January, is expected to be shut down for the season. The Hawks have been performing better this season, winning 11 games until falling to the Rockets. Meanwhile, the Wizards are currently 0-5 when Young plays, likely their final record with him.
