The Washington Wizards came under public scrutiny after their 21-year-old player, Bub Carrington, openly admitted that the team had told its players to hold back on the court, which can be interpreted as a confession of tanking.
The Washington Wizards and guard Bub Carrington are reportedly not expected to face NBA discipline despite Carrington making public comments suggesting the team intentionally tanked. In an interview with WUSA9, Carrington claimed players were held back to improve draft odds for AJ Dybantsa, leading to public criticism and allegations of anti-competitive play.
