Free agent guard Trae Young intends to sign a four-year contract worth approximately $212 million to remain with the Washington Wizards.
The deal includes a player option in the fourth year, giving Young control over the final season of the agreement. The contract keeps one of the league’s premier offensive guards in Washington as the franchise continues to build around him.
Young’s decision provides the Wizards with clarity at a key position and secures a high-usage playmaker capable of anchoring an offense. The agreement also represents a major financial commitment by Washington to retain its lead guard in free agency.
Wizards Keep Their Backcourt Centerpiece
By moving toward a long-term deal, the Wizards avoid losing Young on the open market and maintain continuity in their backcourt. The player option in Year 4 adds flexibility for Young while locking in the core terms of the contract for the next several seasons.
