The 14th overall pick in the 2024 Draft scored in double digits for the seventh straight game to close out his first NBA campaign in style, and even laid in the winning bucket Sunday as time expired. Since moving into the starting five March 22, Carrington has averaged 14.0 points, 6.2 assists, 5.2 boards, 2.4 threes and 0.9 combined steals and blocks, more than respectable numbers for a teenager. The Pitt product has put himself in a good position to remain in the Wizards' starting backcourt when next season tips off.

Carrington closed with eight points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 120-94 loss to the Heat.

Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Iffy with back soreness
Rotowire
Carrington is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with lower back soreness.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, but this news is a tough blow for a Washington team that will be without Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) yet again. Carrington had 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds in 34 minutes Tuesday against the Rockets, but presumably tweaked his back in the loss.

Carrington hit his head on an opposing player's knee and exited the game with 3:08 remaining in the third quarter. The rookie was taken off the court in a wheelchair and will likely undergo further testing before Wednesday's game against Chicago. If Carrington misses additional time, Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George could both see bumps in minutes.
