Former OU men’s basketball point guard and current Sooner assistant general manager Trae Young was ejected for stepping onto the floor to argue with a foul call during the Washington Wizards’ 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets Monday.

During the play, Houston forward Tari Eason received a double-technical foul and was ejected as well. Young’s teammate, Wizards guard Jamir Watkins, received a technical foul during the altercation as well but was allowed to stay in the game.

Monday marked Young’s first ejection and his third technical foul of the season. He posted on social platform X after the game.

In January, Young was traded to the Washington Wizards after seven seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. Young has been sidelined due to a strained right knee and  has yet to make his Wizards debut. 

He is expected to make his first appearance with the Wizards against the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
