Carrington amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over the Pistons.
Carrington still has a lot of work to do regarding his efficiency, as he's shooting 38.2 percent from the field over his last 10 games. He's likely to see a bump in usage rate going forward, however, as Bilal Coulibaly's (hamstring) season is likely over. In that same stretch, Carrington has averaged 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Briefly exits Monday
Rotowire
Carrington briefly exited to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors due to an apparent left arm injury, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Rotowire

Carrington finished just one assist away from recording a double-double, but the rookie did a good job filling out the stat sheet after notching two or more tallies in each of the five major categories. Carrington has started in the Wizards' last three games and is averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest in that span. Furthermore, he's also scored in double digits in each of his last nine starts.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Strong showing from long range
Rotowire
Carrington totaled 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.
Making his second straight start with Jordan Poole (elbow) sidelined, Carrington made an impact from beyond the arc while the rest of the Wizards shot a combined 6-for-27 (22.2 percent) from three-point range. The 19-year-old guard has taken on a larger role over the last month, averaging 32.0 minutes in his last 11 appearances (seven starts) and delivering 12.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.5 threes and 0.8 steals. The 14th overall pick in the 2024 Draft is likely to be featured prominently down the stretch for the team with the worst record in the league.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Scores 11 in spot start
Rotowire
Carrington notched 11 points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 win over the Hornets.
Carrington didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered decent fantasy value in some formats during a spot start due to the absence of Jordan Poole (elbow). Carrington is averaging 10.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season, and he could remain with the first unit if Poole is unable to suit up Monday against the Heat.

Rotowire
Carrington is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
The Wizards will be without a key piece in Jordan Poole (elbow), so Carrington will move to the first unit. The rookie has alternated between the starting unit and the bench, but he's averaging 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 39 starts this season.

Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Four assists in Rising Stars semis
Rotowire
Carrington logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), four assists and one rebound over 9:02 of court time during Team M's 40-39 loss to Team G League in the Rising Stars semifinal.

The rookie first-round pick has started in each of his last five games for the Wizards after being moved to the bench in late January. Over that span, he has averaged 16.0 points on 56.9 percent shooting (including 54.5 percent on 6.6 3PA/G), 6.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 36.4 minutes per game. With Kyle Kuzma now in Milwaukee, Carrington should continue to see an increased role for Washington following the All-Star break.

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. If he can't play, Jared Butler and Corey Kispert may have to log a ton of minutes.

Rotowire
Carrington ended Sunday's 110-98 loss to the Pelicans with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
Jordan Poole missed this game with a hip injury and is day-to-day, while Malcolm Brogdon left early with a foot issue. Carrington is quickly trending up in fantasy formats, posting averages of 11.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers on 43.3 percent shooting over his last five games.

Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Won't return Monday

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.

Carrington has been diagnosed with a right hip contusion after exiting Monday's loss to the Thunder in the fourth quarter. Alexandre Sarr (back) and Bilal Coulibaly (groin) are also questionable, while Kyle Kuzma (rib) remains out, so the Wizards may be shorthanded again versus the Hornets.

Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Double-double in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Carrington contributed 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to Boston.
The rookie guard recorded his second career double-double, with the first coming Nov. 8 against Memphis. Carrington has started four straight games while Corey Kispert (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) have been sidelined, but his 7.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 boards, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals in 33.8 minutes over that stretch doesn't mark him as much of a fantasy asset, and his 30.0 percent shooting from the floor is an outright liability.
