New Washington Wizards star Trae Young is still recovering from MCL and quad injuries on his right leg and will be reevaluated after the mid-February All-Star break, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The Wizards are taking a cautious approach with the injuries to their new trade acquisition. Atlanta received CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert on Wednesday for the 27-year-old Young, who spent seven-plus seasons as the face of the Hawks' franchise. - ESPN.com
In the wake of a 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, Celtics star Jaylen Brown went on an extended rant directed at the officiating crew, including singling out crew chief Curtis Blair by name, after Boston shot just four free throws in the contest. "I feel like, honestly, they just got away with a lot, and I'm tired of the inconsistency," Brown said. "I'll accept the fine at this point. I thought it was some bulls--- tonight. I think [the Spurs are] a good defensive team, but they ain't that damn good. "I hope somebody can just pull up the clips, because it's the same s--- every time we play a good team. It's like they refuse to make a call then call touch fouls on the other end." - ESPN.com
The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder three games Saturday for confronting and attempting to strike Luka Doncic after the Kings' loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles on Dec. 28. Doncic and Schroder jawed at each other during various points of the Kings' 125-101 loss. During a timeout, Doncic taunted Schroder, telling him he "should've signed that contract" in reference to the four-year, $82 million extension Schroder declined from the Lakers a few years ago. - ESPN.com
