Wizards' Bub Carrington: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Carrington is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic with right hip flexor soreness.
It's a new issue for Carrington, who's in danger of missing his first game of the season Thursday. Tre Johnson and Jaden Hardy would both be in line for an uptick in playing time in the event that Carrington cannot play.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Serviceable performance in loss
Rotowire
Carrington contributed 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 123-118 loss to Houston.
Carrington was able to chip in on both ends of the court, albeit on low volume. Although he has been largely healthy of late, Carrington has been far from a must-roster fantasy asset. In 13 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 9.0 points, 4.4 assists and 1.5 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 300 in standard leagues.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Getting steady starts
Rotowire
Carrington accumulated six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.
Despite Sunday's dud, Carrington should remain Washington's top point guard until Trae Young (knee, quadriceps) is ready to make his team debut. Carrington has started 10 appearances in a row, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per game.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Notches 13 points
Rotowire
Carrington finished with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Heat.
Tre Johnson (ankle) doesn't appear close to returning, and it doesn't sound like D'Angelo Russell has a future with the Wizards. Carrington is seeing 25.2 minutes per contest over his last eight outings, but he's averaging just 11.9 points, 4.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers on 40.7 percent shooting from the field in that span.

Rotowire
Carrington posted 13 points (4-14 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 loss to the Nuggets.
As long as Trae Young (knee) remains on the shelf, Carrington appears to be cemented as Washington's top point guard. Across his last nine appearances, the second-year guard has averaged 11.3 points, 5.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 35.3 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Productive outing in loss
Rotowire
Carrington provided 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven assists, six rebounds and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 110-106 loss to the Clippers.
With Bilal Coulibaly (back) unavailable for a third straight game, Carrington got the starting nod once again. After shooting 5-for-14 from the field in Saturday's loss to Denver, the second-year point guard bounced back, finishing as Washington's third-leading scorer while knocking down three triples for a third consecutive contest. Carrington also led the Wizards in assists and has dished out at least seven dimes in four of his last five games.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Just misses double-double Friday
Rotowire
Carrington recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to the Kings.
Making his second start in January, Carrington fell one dime short of his first double-double of the season. The second-year guard will likely return to the bench once Bilal Coulibaly (back) is ready to return, but Carrington has been seeing plenty of court time with the second unit as well. Over the last six contests, including both those recent starts, he's averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.0 threes in 34.0 minutes.

Rotowire
Carrington supplied eight points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Bulls.
Carrington continues to play a limited role off the bench, having logged fewer than 25 minutes in five straight games.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Another lackluster performance
Rotowire
Carrington had seven points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 loss to Houston.
Carrington logged the fewest amount of minutes all season Wednesday, and he was not able to do much with his time on the court. While it is likely his minutes were cut short due to the blowout nature of the game, Carrington needs to improve his efficiency if he wants to remain in the rotation, as he is averaging just 6.5 points on 32.5 percent from the field.
