Trae Young delivered a standout performance with 21 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds as the Washington Wizards defeated the Charlotte Hornets 95-79 in their NBA Cup opener. Rookie AJ Dybantsa, returning from an ankle injury, scored 17 points in his debut at home. Anthony Davis contributed 25 points and 13 rebounds for Washington, while Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 19 points.
Charlotte struggled on the offensive end, shooting just 29.7% for the game and 12 of 56 from three-point range. This marked the two lowest-scoring games in the NBA this season for Charlotte, who have been without key players Kon Knueppel, Coby White, and Grant Williams all season.
