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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Washington Wizards point guard Carlton Carrington was doing a little bit of everything during Saturday's summer league contest. The rookie guard finished with 13 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 35 minutes of action. The Wizards used their first-round pick on Carrington and it's looking like a good selection. He should see significant minutes on the rebuilding Wizards roster. It's worth noting that the Wizards did add Malcolm Brogdon this offseason. Although, Brogdon should be more of a veteran depth option and he shouldn't take away many minutes from Carrington.
