Bub Carrington Escapes NBA Discipline Over Wizards Tanking Remarks

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington will not face NBA discipline or fines following viral comments where he publicly admitted the team held players back last season to secure draft positioning for No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa. Carrington stated players were previously restricted but are now fully unhandcuffed heading into the 2026-2027 season. Despite the public candidness about tanking, the league decided against issuing sanctions.
