Four-time NBA All-Star Trae Young is being traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the struggling Washington Wizards, according to reports from the Associated Press and ESPN.
Sources told ESPN that the Hawks will receive Guard CJ McCollum and Forward Corey Kispert. No draft picks were a part of the plan, according to reports.
Young has become a prominent player with the Hawks, spending seven seasons with the team. ESPN reported that he recently expressed interest in joining the Wizards organization.
The Wizards currently sit at 10-26 and are ranked toward the bottom of the Eastern Division, sitting just above the Indiana Pacers. The team lost its Wednesday night matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers 110-131
According to ESPN, the Hawks and Young’s representatives discussed a trade after the team decided against a contract extension, though several million dollars remained on his contract.
McCollum is in his twelfth season in the NBA and his first with the Wizards. Kispert had been playing with the Wizards for the past four seasons.
