    Washington will return to action Sunday after missing Dallas' most recent outing due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Quentin Grimes against Golden State.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Returns to practice Friday

    Coach Jason Kidd said Washington (illness) was a participant at Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Washington sat out of Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals loss to the Thunder due to an illness, though he appears to be gearing up for a return during Sunday's matchup against the Warriors. The 26-year-old continues to play a crucial role in the club's offensive scheme, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc across 33.6 minutes per game.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Expected to sit out Tuesday

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Iffy for Tuesday

    Washington (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Naji Marshall (illness) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (illness) has already been ruled out. Washington has a sizeable role for the Mavericks, so if he's unable to go, it's likely that coach Jason Kidd rolls with a committee approach to soak up his minutes.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Extends double-digit scoring streak

    Washington chipped in 10 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-101 victory over Washington.

    Although he didn't play in the fourth quarter of Thursday's rout, Washington put forth a modest effort and scored in double digits for the eighth straight game before his night came to a close. Through his last 10 contests, Washington is averaging 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.1 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting a scorching 54.1 percent from deep. He should continue offering disruptive defense to the Mavericks while seeing plenty of open looks from downtown as opposing defenses focus on containing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Comes close to triple-double

    Washington produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 victory over the Knicks.

    Even though Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes led the Mavericks on offense in this win, there's no question Washington had a massive impact due to his two-way contributions. The veteran forward finished just three assists away from a triple-double, and he continues to find ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring at a high rate. Washington is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game across his last six outings while posting five double-doubles in that stretch.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Impresses with double-double

    Washington notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to Miami.

    Washington has really started to find his form with three double-doubles in his last four games. In that span, Washington has averaged 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers. With Luka Doncic sidelined by a wrist issue, there should be plenty of usage to go around in Dallas.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Double-double in Friday's win

    Washington provided 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 123-120 win over the Nuggets.

    It's the second double-double in three games for Washington since he returned to the Dallas starting lineup. The 26-year-old forward missed five games earlier this month with a knee injury and delivered an unimpressive four-point, six-rebound effort Tuesday against the Pelicans, but he's at least been consistent on the defensive end. In those three starts, he's recorded four steals and three blocks.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Career night on glass

    Washington racked up 27 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-119 win over Oklahoma City.

    The 17 boards were a career high for the 26-year-old forward, who also produced a season-high scoring effort in the absence of Luka Doncic (knee). Washington missed five games himself earlier this month due to knee trouble, and he was making his first start since Nov. 4. Doncic isn't expected to be sidelined for long, but Washington could continue to see elevated usage as long as the Mavs' superstar is unavailable.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Back in starting lineup Sunday

    Washington will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Washington returned Friday in a limited role after missing five straight games due to a knee injury, but he will return to the starting five Sunday. With Luka Doncic (knee) unavailable, Washington may be called upon more often offensively.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Minutes capped in return

    Washington (knee) came off the bench and recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Saturday's 110-93 win over the Spurs.

    Making his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained right knee, Washington was eased back into the Dallas rotation as a reserve after he had started in each of the Mavericks' first seven contests of the season. Once he's further removed from the injury, Washington should eventually move back to the top unit and revert to a near-30-minute role, but he'll likely face some restrictions once again Sunday in Oklahoma City, if Dallas makes him active for the contest.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Will play on minutes restriction

    Washington (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Head coach Jason Kidd relayed Saturday that Washington -- who has missed the Mavericks' last five games due to a sprained right knee -- is unlikely to see heavy minutes in his return. Washington may be inserted back into the starting lineup if Naji Marshall is unable to play due to an illness.

    Washington (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

    Washington has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a sprained right knee, and he is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive outing. The 26-year-old was also ruled doubtful ahead of Thursday's loss to Utah, and if he is unable to suit up again Saturday, Naji Marshall and Maxi Kleber are candidates for an increased role.

The 26-year-old was deemed doubtful before being officially ruled out, and his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Spurs. With Washington out, Naji Marshall is expected to draw the start at power forward once again.
