Bub Carrington Heads Into Year Two With Wizards Off a Full 82-Game Season
newsroom · 1 h agoBub Carrington is not on the injury report as Washington gears up for 2026-27. The 21-year-old guard enters his third season after playing all 82 games last year, and the Wizards will lean on him again as a full-time rotation piece. His efficiency numbers from last season set the bar he needs to clear this year.
Where he stands entering the season
Bub Carrington is listed at guard, wearing No. 7 for Washington, and he is not on the injury report heading into 2026-27. He is 21 years old with two seasons of NBA experience, standing 6-4 and weighing 190 pounds out of Pittsburgh. Last season he was a workhorse for the Wizards, appearing in all 82 games and averaging 27.7 minutes a night. That kind of availability matters for a young guard trying to lock down a rotation spot, and it puts him in position to open 2026-27 as a regular contributor rather than someone fighting for minutes.
The numbers from last season
Last season Carrington averaged 10.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, with 2.3 turnovers. He shot 42.4 percent from the field, 40.8 percent from three-point range and 73.0 percent from the foul line. His true shooting percentage came in at 55.6 percent on a usage rate of 17.4 percent. The three-point number stands out among that group. Shooting over 40 percent from deep as a young guard is the kind of skill that keeps a player on the floor, even before the rest of his game rounds into form.
The efficiency picture
Carrington's overall shooting split last season, 42.4 percent from the field paired with 73.0 percent from the line, points to a guard who is still refining his interior scoring while already showing touch from three and at the stripe. A 55.6 true shooting percentage is a middle-of-the-road number for a guard with a 17.4 usage rate, meaning he wasn't asked to do heavy scoring lifting last season. His assist total of 4.6 per game alongside 2.3 turnovers shows a reasonable ball-handling load for a second-year player logging nearly 28 minutes a night.
The tougher number: plus-minus
The one number that stands out in the other direction is Carrington's minus-9.1 plus-minus from last season. That's a point differential swing worth watching as he heads into his third year, since it reflects what happened on the floor around him as much as his individual stat line. Nothing in his profile points to why that number was where it was beyond the raw figure itself. How that trends in 2026-27, as he logs more experience and Washington's roster around him develops, is one of the things worth tracking early in the season.
Health and outlook heading into 2026-27
Carrington is not on the injury report, and there is no injury history to account for. Combined with his 82-game appearance total from last season, that makes him one of the more dependable bodies on Washington's roster as the new season approaches. There are no recent-game results or rumors tied to him at this point. With the opener still ahead, the storylines to watch are straightforward: whether his three-point shooting holds at last season's 40.8 percent clip, whether his role expands beyond a 17.4 usage rate, and whether that plus-minus number trends up.
