Who Are the Washington Wizards’ All-Time Iron Men?
Washington Wizards point guard Bub Carrington closed the 2025-26 season with 20 points and nine assists in an unassuming loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The stat line stands out as one of his stronger performances of the year — but that’s not the impressive part. The appearance marked Carrington’s 82nd game of the season, adding him to a list of just 18 players league-wide to do so this year.
The season finale also kept his two-year streak alive. The sophomore has never missed a game in his NBA career — a rare feat in a league where the pace of play is rising, and availability is falling. His durability also puts him in exclusive company within franchise history.
So, looking back, who is Bub chasing to land among the Wizards’ greatest iron men? Wes Unseld The franchise’s most decorated player was exhibiting greatness in more ways than outlet passes and relentless rebounding. Wes Unseld ‘s reliability anchored the Bullets’ identity as one of the league’s toughest teams throughout the 1970s.
Spending his entire 13-year career in Baltimore and D. C. , Unseld led the franchise in total games played (984).
Like Carrington, he played in every game in his first two years. Unlike Carrington, Unseld played at least 70 games 11 times and all 82 in four of them, all while capturing MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same campaign. The 6-foot-7 center transformed the franchise right away.
