The accuracy allowed him to match his previous season-high scoring output, a 30-point tally in a loss to the Pistons on March 30. Carrington has started in each of the Wizards' last 14 games, and he heads into the regular-season finale at Cleveland on Sunday with averages of 15.0 points and 4.7 assists per game over that stretch.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Struggles with three-point shot
Rotowire
Carrington contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
Carrington has scored in double digits in his four appearances since returning to the starting lineup March 17, but he's been up and down with his three-point shooting over that span. The Pittsburgh standout, who's shooting a career-best 39.2 percent from deep in 2025-26, might be making 48 percent of his threes over that aforementioned four-game stretch, but in that span, he's gone 1-for-4 (vs. New York) and 1-for-6 (vs. Detroit) from beyond the arc. The numbers are strong on the surface, but the game-to-game performances are inconsistent, ultimately limiting his upside as a reliable long-range option.

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.

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.

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.
