P.J. Washington News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Strong two-way performance Washington contributed 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Washington turned in his eighth 20-point effort of the season, also submitting a full stat line. As long as Cooper Flagg (foot) remains sidelined, more usage should continue to head Washington's direction. Over his past five appearances, Washington has averaged 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per game.

Solid in return to starting five Washington amassed 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to the Suns.

Impact After missing the first two games in February due to a concussion and then coming off the bench Saturday, Washington rejoined the starting lineup, although his workload remained limited. The 27-year-old forward has had trouble staying on the court since the calendar flipped to 2026 -- Washington has suited up for only 10 of the Mavericks' last 19 contests, averaging 10.2 points, 5.1 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 threes in 26.7 minutes over that span.

Starting vs. Phoenix Washington will start against the Suns on Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Chips in 10 points in return Washington accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Washington was cleared to return Saturday from a two-game absence while in the league's concussion protocol. He came off the bench in his return and reached double-digit points for the fourth time in his last six outings. Washington could be back in the Mavericks' starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, a move that would likely result in Caleb Martin reverting to a bench role.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start in return Washington won't start against the Spurs on Saturday.

Impact Washington is available to play following a two-game absence due to a concussion, though he'll come off the bench. Caleb Martin will remain in the starting five for now. Washington has come off the bench just twice this season, during which he has averaged 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 23.5 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared from injury report Washington (concussion) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Washington is ready to return after missing two games with a concussion. Over his last six appearances, the forward has averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game.

Not playing Thursday Washington (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Washington will miss a second consecutive game while in the league's concussion protocol, and his next opportunity to play is in Saturday's rematch against San Antonio. Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson should continue to operate in expanded roles for as long as Washington is sidelined.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Tuesday Washington (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Washington suffered a head contusion during Saturday's matchup with the Rockets, and he's since been downgraded to out for Tuesday while in the league's concussion protocol. Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson should see an increase in chances in Washington's absence. His next chance to return will arrive Thursday against the Spurs.

Suffers head contusion Washington suffered a head contusion during Saturday's game against Houston and will not return.

Impact Washington was escorted back to the locker room by the medical staff with a towel over his head. He played 25 minutes before leaving the game for good, finishing with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. He can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston until more information is known.

Sniffs double-double Washington closed with 14 points (6-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Washington made his presence felt on both ends of the court, ending just one rebound shy of a double-double but also posting at least two steals-plus-blocks for the fifth straight contest. Washington has been linked with a move away from the Mavs before the Feb. 5 deadline, but until that materializes, he should continue to see a steady workload in the frontcourt. Washington is averaging 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game in his last four contests.

Pops for team-high 21 in loss Washington totaled 21 points (10-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Making his first start since Jan. 14, Washington led the Mavericks in scoring as he produced his best scoring effort since Dec. 15, when he dropped 25 points in Utah. The 27-year-old forward has been in and out of the lineup in January to attend to a personal matter and deal with an ankle injury, and in six games this month (four starts) he's averaging just 9.3 points, 4.7 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.3 minutes. Wednesday's performance suggests he's healthy and focused again, however, and a better February could be on the way as he continues to fill in for Anthony Davis (finger).

Piles up defensive stats in return Washington (personal/ankle) tallied 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 22 minutes Thursday in the Mavericks' 123-115 win over...

Impact Washington was back in action after a three-game absence for what was just his fourth appearance of January, but head coach Jason Kidd said prior to the contest that the veteran forward would be operating with a restriction of 30 minutes. The 27-year-old fell eight minutes short of that threshold, but he still produced well during his time on the court, particularly in the defensive categories. Washington came off the bench Thursday, but he could be ready to reclaim a spot in the starting five Saturday versus the Lakers and will likely be in store for at least a slight bump in playing time.

To have minutes monitored Washington will be held under 30 minutes Thursday night against the Warriors, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Impact Washington has missed the team's last three matchups while attending to a personal matter, so the Mavs are aiming for caution in his return to the hardwood. He's appeared in only one game since Jan. 3, so it may take a few games to build his conditioning back up.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Washington (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against Golden State.

Impact Washington will return from a two-game absence due to personal reasons. He had missed five of the Mavericks' previous six games. The forward will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, which would likely push Caleb Martin to the second unit.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Washington is currently dealing with a personal matter, which is also why he sat out of Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. HIs next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday against Golden State.
