Won't start vs. Phoenix Carrington won't start for the Wizards in Saturday's game against the Suns.

Impact The Wizards have elected to go with a different starting lineup for Saturday's game in Phoenix. Carrington will head to the bench while Kyshawn George gets the nod as a starter alongside Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma, Bilal Coulibaly and Alexandre Sarr.

Invisible in loss Carrington provided three points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-88 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Despite seeing sizable workloads, the rookie guard hasn't been able to generate much fantasy value. He's shooting 39.8 percent from the field in January, posting averages of 8.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers over his last 12 outings. He's difficult to trust outside of very deep formats.

Struggles with shot Carrington closed Sunday's 136-95 loss to the Thunder with five points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes.

Impact For the third game in a row, Carrington failed to reach double figures in the scoring column. His workload has remained high, however, as the Wizards are currently without Malcolm Brogdon (foot). During that three-game span, Carrington has averaged 5.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds on 26.9 percent shooting from the field.

Iffy with back soreness Carrington is questionable for Wednesday's game agains the Bulls with lower back soreness.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, but this is 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.

Sinks four triples in loss Carrington finished Tuesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds in 34 minutes.

Impact The rookie served as the club's primary ball handler with Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) sidelined. Carrington racked up nine points, three rebounds and three assists in the first half, shooting 3-for-4 from the field with three triples. However, the 19-year-old was quiet in the second half, as the Wizards turned a two-point deficit at the half into a blowout loss. Carrington has carved out a significant role in the starting five early on, and he'll likely continue to receive an increased role until Poole or Brogdon are able to return to game action.

Impact Carrington has been dealing with an ankle injury but will play in Tuesday's game against Houston.

Iffy for Tuesday Carrington (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is in danger of sitting out the front end of Washington's back-to-back due to an ankle injury. The Wizards could also be without Jordan Poole (hip) on Tuesday, and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has already been ruled out. If Carrington ends up on the sidelines as well, Kyshawn George and Jared Butler would be set for expanded roles against the Rockets.

Drops 16 points 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.

Impact 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.
