Bub Carrington is on track today to play in his 164th straight game to start his career. Per the team's research, he will become the first NBA player to appear in all 82 games of each of his first two seasons since Karl-Anthony Towns did so in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Impressive!
(By the way, Towns also played in all 82 games of his third season.)
Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly's 19 first half points in tonight's contest are the most he's scored in a single half in his career (previously 18, 2/3/25 at Charlotte).
