On Monday night, former Pitt guard Bub Carrington left the Wizards’ game after suffering a scary fall and hitting his head on the floor.
He left the game in a wheelchair. The Wizards later announced that he would not return due to a “post traumatic headache.”
After the game, reporter Josh Robbins reported that Carrington was speaking with teammates in the locker room.
Carrington had six points, five rebounds, and five assists so far in the game against the New York Knicks. This was the Wizards’ second-straight game against the Knicks. After the game, Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Carrington was “feeling okay” and did not get knocked out during the fall, according to reporter Bijan Todd.
Carrington, a rookie, is averaging 9.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game so far this season for the Wizards. He is shooting 40% from the field, and 34% from three-point range.
Carrington started 33 games for Pitt as a rookie, averaging 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. The Baltimore, Maryland native shot 41% from the field and 32% from three-point range in his freshman campaign, and alongside Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett, starred for the Panthers in the back court.
Carrington went No. 14 overall in the most recent NBA Draft, making his way from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Washington Wizards via trade. Carrington was the first player drafted in the first round from a Jeff-Capel-led Pitt team.
