Trae Young gets his first ejection as a Washington Wizard before he's played a game 😅

Confirmed team guy Trae Young

Trae was in street clothes and still got ejected. That’s elite efficiency ngl

The full fight:

Imagine buying tickets for his debut just to see him walk back to the locker room in a hoodie. 💀🎟️

Draymond would be proud 😂

(no cut scenes)😭

@ESPNNBA

His reputation with refs clearly followed him to Washington. Starting new chapter with ejection before debut is on-brand for his intensity.

Bro got fired from the bench on his day off

@ESPNNBA Refs need to be fined for making awful calls

Trae in street clothes pulling up like 'not today ref' before tip-off is actually legendary😭 Wizards fans already know the vibes

My PG sticking up for the youngins I love it!!

Trae Young out here setting records before tip-off

Tony don’t play haha

how do you get ejected from a game you're not even playing in

Peak Trae content. Honestly, the Wizards are just providing us with entertainment before the season even starts. Priceless.

He needs to either get it together or just quit. Already a distraction to a below average team that’s trying to finish the season at this point

On purpose

I thought he was supposed to be playing today

Wow Tre Young move up to become a Washington Wizards OG

@ESPNNBA Bad call from the refs.... they gotta be on cocaine

That’s a hell of a start!

In a highly unusual turn of events, Trae Young was ejected from the Washington Wizards' game against the Houston Rockets on March 2, 2026, without having played a single minute for his new team. Young, who was sidelined due to injury and yet to make his Wizards debut, was tossed for walking onto the court and complaining to officials during a fourth-quarter altercation between teammate Jamir Watkins and the Rockets' Tari Eason. Despite being on the bench in street clothes, he received an ovation from Wizards fans as he headed to the locker room.

Hawks fans seeing this:

First game: pending. First ejection: secured.

Key Context and Debut Details Wizards Debut: Young is officially scheduled to make his on-court debut for Washington this Thursday, March 5, 2026, against the Utah Jazz.

Projected Minutes: Coach Brian Keefe stated that Young will likely be restricted to 17–20 minutes during his debut against the Jazz.

Brooo hasn’t even played a single game yet and he has been ejected 😂

@ESPNNBA Oh, you gotta be kidding me! That’s not good. He’s like What did I do?

@ESPNNBA that is so Wizards' like. he fitting right in

@ESPNNBA These refs are so soft omg

Most franchises get a honeymoon period with their new star, Washington got an ejection before tip-off and honestly that tracks.

Tanking to a whole new level, your move Utah Jazz
