It took nearly 21 minutes into Thursday night's game, but Trae Young's welcome-to-D. C. moment came in spectacular fashion. After receiving a pass behind the 3-point line, Young pump-faked his defender into jumping past him, drove to the basket, and faked a behind-the-back pass before switching hands to score a tough scoop layup.

The Capital One Arena crowd went wild, though the Wizards were already down 15 points. Young, limited to 19 minutes, finished with 12 points and six assists in the 122-112 loss to the Utah Jazz. His performance, while impressive, highlighted significant rust after missing the final 10 games of the Hawks season due to injury.

Young dazzled with fluidity and playmaking reminiscent of his Hawks days, but struggled with open 3-pointers and missed passes to teammates, including a wide-open shot for Tre Johnson. His debut marked the Wizards' seventh consecutive loss, dropping them to 16-46.
