Chase Hughes: Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson III and Will Riley are all OUT tonight against the Sixers, per the team. Johnson III is out with right hamstring tightness, Riley with left thumb soreness. They're day-to-day. Starters: AJ Johnson, Leaky Black, Dillon Jones, Jamir Watkins, Liam Robbins
Chase Hughes: Bub Carrington on Jordan Poole's impact as a mentor: "That's crazy not seeing him in our locker room every day. J.P., that was one hell of a guy, not just a player... that was just a really good dude, like off the court. I was just at his house right before he got traded. We were watching the Finals together. He'd just invite rookies over. He invited my family over. It would be me, J.P. and like my cousins at his house. He is a really good guy, really good vet. Always very vocal. He taught me the vocal piece of being a leader."
Sarah Todd: I'm hearing that Daniel Green (who seems to also represent Bub Carrington) is an an agent representing Bailey. I do not know what the relationship or what agreements are in place with Cooper or anyone else on Ace's team.

Josh Robbins: Final: Magic 109, Wizards 97. Paolo Banchero finished with 33 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists. Bub Carrington tallied 32 points, nine boards and seven assists.
Neil Dalal: The Deni Avdija vs. Bub Carrington conversation is pointless to me. No reason not to root for both. Wizards loved Bub and Deni was the only asset to get him. Avdija’s bargain contract will near renewal by contention time and you had to ensure 25/26 FRPs don’t convey to Knicks.
Sam Cohn: Carlton Carrington Sr., a staple of Baltimore basketball and father of Wizards first-round pick Bub Carrington, died last night. Two of his former players turned pros shared tributes on Instagram.
As an example, let’s take Carrington, the 19-year-old guard who leads all NBA rookies in total minutes played and ranks second among rookies in total assists. As one league source told me over the last week, Carrington appears on track to grow into a top-nine player on a good team.

The Washington Wizards have a self-described “crazy coach.” Brian Keefe wouldn’t address his moniker — “You’re not getting me to comment on myself,” he said recently — but his players confirmed he calls himself a crazy coach, and they have no quibbles with the title. “That’s a crazy dude, for sure,” rookie Bub Carrington said. “But I’m crazy, too, so we work well.” “He’s from Boston, so heavy East Coast energy,” Jordan Poole said. “… I think [crazy coach] is a term of endearment to him. Which speaks volumes.”
Washington Wizards: Update: Bub Carrington and Kyle Kuzma are available for tonight's game. Alex Sarr (non-Covid illness) is now OUT.
Josh Robbins: Final: Wizards 125, Bulls 107 Poole: 30 pts., 3 rebs., 2 assts. Carrington: 11 pts., 4 rebs., 6 assts. Sarr: 11 pts., 10 rebs., 5 assts. LaVine: 32 pts., 1 reb., 3 assts. 3-pointers: Wizards 17/36 (47%), Bulls 14/47 (30%)
Carlton Carrington good to go despite scary head injury in last game
Josh Robbins: Bub Carrington's playing status for tonight's Wizards-Bulls game has been upgraded from questionable to available. Carrington suffered a frightening-looking hit to the head in Washington's game Monday night but did not go into the NBA's concussion protocol.
