Impact The 14th overall pick in the 2024 Draft scored in double digits for the seventh straight game to close out his first NBA campaign in style, and even laid in the winning bucket Sunday as time expired. Since moving into the starting five March 22, Carrington has averaged 14.0 points, 6.2 assists, 5.2 boards, 2.4 threes and 0.9 combined steals and blocks, more than respectable numbers for a teenager. The Pitt product has put himself in good position to remain in the Wizards' starting backcourt when next season tips off.

Dishes out career-high 11 assists Carrington finished with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 119-89 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Carrington had one of the best games of his rookie campaign during Friday's blowout loss to the Bulls, as his career-high 11 assists helped him post just his second double-double of the season. Carrington has also shot 42.2 percent on 6.4 three-point attempts per contest across his previous 10 outings.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 points in blowout loss Carrington closed with 14 points (6-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block in 41 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Carrington, a rookie out of Pittsburgh, has done a good job in his first season in the NBA, and he's certainly ending the campaign on a strong note. He's scored in double digits in six of his last eight starts while also posting solid peripheral stats. Carrington is averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.6 steals per game in that eight-game stretch.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Carrington shined in Thursday's contest, leading all Wizards players in scoring, threes made, rebounds and assists over a team-high-tying minute total. Carrington set season-high marks in scoring and threes made while posting his fifth outing of the season with at least seven boards and seven dimes.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 19 points in win Carrington registered 19 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Kings.

Impact Carrington was one of the standout performers for the Wizards in this game, finishing as the team's second-best scorer behind Jordan Poole (elbow), who had 23 points across 24 minutes. Carrington has enjoyed an excellent rookie season and is aiming to end it on a strong note. He's scored in double digits in four of his previous six starts, averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.8 steals per game in that stretch.

APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to triple-double Carrington closed with eight points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 120-94 loss to the Heat.

Impact Carrington didn't have a good shooting performance, and his final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means. However, the rookie continues to show the ability to impact the game on both ends of the court, and he finished just two points, two boards and one assist away from finishing with a triple-double in this blowout loss. Carrington has started in each of the Wizards' last six games, averaging 9.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game over that span.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

MARCH 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in win Carrington amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over the Pistons.

Impact Carrington still has a lot of work to do regarding his efficiency, as he's shooting 38.2 percent from the field over his last 10 games. He's likely to see a bump in usage rate going forward, however, as Bilal Coulibaly's (hamstring) season is likely over. In that same stretch, Carrington has averaged 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

He'll come off the bench Tuesday while Justin Champagnie enters the starting five.

MARCH 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Briefly exits Monday Carrington briefly exited to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors due to an apparent left arm injury, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carrington checked back in with 1:43 remaining in the third quarter, and he had a pad covering the area around his left elbow. The rookie first-round pick will likely be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

MARCH 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Carrington will come off the bench against the Raptors on Saturday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Carrington has started in the Wizards' last three games, but he will retreat to the bench Saturday due to the return of Jordan Poole (elbow). Carrington has averaged 11.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 29.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet in win Carrington posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Carrington finished just one assist away from recording a double-double, but the rookie did a good job of filling out the stat sheet after notching two or more tallies in each of the five major categories. Carrington has started in the Wizards' last three games and is averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest in that span. Furthermore, he's also scored in double digits in each of his last nine starts.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing from long range Carrington totaled 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.

Impact Making his second straight start with Jordan Poole (elbow) sidelined, Carrington made an impact from beyond the arc while the rest of the Wizards shot a combined 6-for-27 (22.2 percent) from three-point range. The 19-year-old guard has taken on a larger role over the last month, averaging 32.0 minutes in his last 11 appearances (seven starts) and delivering 12.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.5 threes and 0.8 steals. The 14th overall pick in the 2024 Draft is likely to be featured prominently down the stretch for the team with the worst record in the league.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 in spot start Carrington notched 11 points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 win over the Hornets.

Impact Carrington didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered decent fantasy value in some formats in a spot start due to the absence of Jordan Poole (elbow). Carrington is averaging 10.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season, and he could remain with the first unit if Poole is unable to suit up Monday against the Heat.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Poole Carrington is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The Wizards will be without a key piece in Jordan Poole (elbow), so Carrington will move to the first unit. The rookie has alternated between the starting unit and the bench, but he's averaging 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 39 starts this season.

MARCH 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Friday Carrington is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact With Khris Middleton starting in his Wizards debut, Carrington will retreat to the bench. The rookie started in each of his last five appearances, during which he averaged 16.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds across 36.4 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four assists in Rising Stars semis Carrington logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), four assists and one rebound over 9:02 of court time during Team M's 40-39 loss to Team G League in the Rising Stars semifinal.

Impact Carrington led both teams in assists and finished with a plus-2 point differential. The rookie first-round pick has started in each of his last five games for the Wizards after being moved to the bench in late January. Over that span, he has averaged 16.0 points on 56.9 percent shooting (including 54.5 percent on 6.6 3PA/G), 6.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 36.4 minutes per game.
