Trae Young Got Ejected From A Wizards Game Before He Ever Played In One | Defector

"On Monday, the Wizards were in the midst of their standard double-digit hiding, this time at the hands of the Houston Rockets. It was late in the third quarter when Houston's Tari Eason and Washington's Jamir Watkins got snippy with each other, and Young walked onto the court to bark about the snippage. He took a quick technical foul for that from official Jacyn Goble, and moments later absorbed a second, making Young that rarest of players-one who has been thrown out of a game for his team before actually appearing in a game for said team."

Trae Young was traded to the Washington Wizards in Year Seven of his career after spending his professional tenure with the Atlanta Hawks. Young has been sidelined by a knee injury since the trade and has not yet played for Washington. During a Wizards game against Houston, Young walked onto the court in his civilian clothes to intervene in an altercation between Tari Eason and Jamir Watkins. Official Jacyn Goble issued Young two technical fouls, resulting in his ejection from the game. This made Young a rare player to be thrown out of a game before actually appearing in one for his team.
