| Sun Mar 29 | 21:28 | Bub Carrington Exits Early Sunday Due to Cramping |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington didn't finish Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers due to muscle cramping. He left the action in the third quarter, wrapping up his night with 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four turnovers in 22 minutes. Since this was the first game of a back-to-back for Washington, Carrington might sit out Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Tre Johnson (foot) and Sharife Cooper could have more playing opportunities without Carrington. |

| Mon Sep 29 2025 | 15:19 | Bub Carrington Reshapes Body, Ready for 2025-26 Season |
Washington Wizards point guard Bub Carrington has noticeably bulked up this offseason, adding 11 pounds of muscle to bring his frame from 193 to 204 pounds. The 20-year-old second-year guard admitted that attacking the rim and finishing in traffic was the "weakest part" of his game, and his added strength should help address that area. Carrington started 57 of 82 games as a rookie, averaging 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per contest while flashing versatility across multiple categories. However, his 40.1% shooting from the field highlighted an area in need of improvement as he transitions into a larger role. Entering his sophomore campaign, Carrington will look to take a step forward as he teams with fellow second-year standout Alex Sarr to headline Washington's youth-driven rebuild. |

| Wed Jan 8 2025 | 18:52 | Bub Carrington Available On Wednesday |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard is dealing with a lower back issue, but that won't stop him from suiting up here. There is no word on Carrington being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to be a full-go here. The 19-year-old has finished with double digit points in each of his last two games. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Carrington back in their lineups on Wednesday. |

| Mon Jan 6 2025 | 20:57 | Bub Carrington Listed As Questionable For Tuesday |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (ankle) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Rockets, and the Wizards could be very short-handed since Jordan Poole (hip) is also questionable, and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out. On Sunday, Carrington had 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 34 minutes while Poole was sidelined and Brogdon left early. If Carrington plays and Poole and Brogdon are out, the rookie will be a very strong play. If Carrington, Poole, and Brogdon are all sidelined, Kyshawn George and Jared Butler would have to carry the load in the backcourt. Butler had a strong showing with 17 points in 20 minutes, while on the other hand, George missed all seven of his shots from the field and had just one point in 27 minutes. |

| Wed Jan 1 2025 | 16:35 | Bub Carrington Active On Wednesday |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (head) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against Chicago. Carrington's participation in the contest was initially under doubt after he took a knee to the head on Monday versus the Knicks. However, the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Carrington has battled out a regular starting role for himself and averaged 9.3 points with 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists last month. His shooting has been inconsistent, with Carrington making fewer than 40 percent of his shots in back-to-back months. However, the rookie guard should have plenty of scoring opportunities on Wednesday, with the total for the game set at 237.5 points. |

| Wed Jan 1 2025 | 08:23 | Bub Carrington Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (head) is questionable to play against Chicago on Wednesday. He was hit in the head during Monday's loss to the Knicks and has been suffering from a post-traumatic headache. Carrington's absence on Wednesday could open up additional playing time for players like Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George, and Jared Butler. Malcolm Brogdon might also benefit, depending on Jordan Poole's (hip) status. This is a dream matchup from a fantasy perspective, as these two teams allow the most points in the league. |

| Thu Dec 26 2024 | 17:59 | Bub Carrington Good To Go Thursday |
Washington Wizards rookie guard Bub Carrington (hip) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against Charlotte. He's yet to miss a game during his rookie campaign, but Carrington was initially considered questionable for Thursday's contest with a right-hip contusion. The 19-year-old has been a regular starter in December, averaging 9.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 32.7 minutes. Carrington's shooting has been inconsistent throughout his maiden season, and he had only two points against the Hornets last week in a 123-114 win. |

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (undisclosed) was hurt in Monday's loss to Oklahoma City. He exited the game in the middle for the final frame, heading to the locker room holding his right side. Carrington finished the contest with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists, and four turnovers. The 19-year-old rookie must recover by Thursday to avoid missing his first game of the season. Carrington's absence would put Jared Butler in a position to rejoin the regular rotation, but he's a non-factor in fantasy basketball. |

| Thu Dec 19 2024 | 18:13 | Bub Carrington Upgraded To Available Thursday |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Thursday night and will face off against the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie entered the starting lineup again over the last five games after a stint coming off of the bench. Unfortunately, his shooting efficiency still hasn't been great with a 30% mark from the floor over his last four starts. In that time, he's averaged 7.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.8 turnovers per game. |

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (wrist) is available to play in Sunday's meeting with the Magic. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. While he's been banged up throughout the year, his most recent ailment won't keep him off the floor on Sunday night. With Kyle Kuzma (groin) still out, Carrington should see his share of minutes and scoring opportunities. Keep him starting. |

| Fri Oct 25 2024 | 11:37 | Bub Carrington Suffers "Mild" Ankle Sprain |
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (ankle) came away from their season opener against the Boston Celtics with an ankle injury. Head coach Brian Keefe said that it was a "mild" ankle sprain and they'll likely take it day by day with the rookie. Carrington finished his first game with three points, three rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and two turnovers while shooting 1-for-6 from the floor. Having to go up against the reigning NBA champs in his first game was a tough task, but the Wizards seem committed to getting their younger players playing time right now. If Carrington has to miss time, Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George should see more minutes. |
