The Atlanta Hawks have traded guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official.
Young was in his eighth season with the Hawks, but the signs that his tenure was coming to a close had become apparent in recent months. He leaves as the franchise's all-time leader in assists (4,837) and 3-pointers (1,295).
Young has only played in 10 games this season and did not play on Wednesday due to a quad injury. Reports of the trade emerged during the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans and Young was seen being embraced by members of the organization.
The four-time NBA All-Star has averaged 19.3 points, 8.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game this season.
