Questionable with ankle sprain Washington is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder with a right ankle sprain.

Impact Washington is aiming to end a three-game absence with the issue. Naji Marshall has been the primary fantasy beneficiary of Washington's stay on the sidelines, so the former would figure to move to the bench if the latter is able to give it ago Friday.

Iffy for Wednesday Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Impact A right ankle sprain continues to plague Washington, who could be a true game-time decision for Wednesday. If the forward ends up missing a third consecutive game, the Mavericks would have longer leashes for the likes of Naji Marshall, Max Christie and Klay Thompson.

Impact Washington will miss his second consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain.

Questionable for Monday Washington (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver.

Impact The ankle injury forced Washington to the sidelines for Saturday's win over the Clippers, which resulted in Naji Marshall drawing the start, and Caleb Martin saw an uptick in minutes. It'll be more of the same if Washington is out again Monday.

Won't play Saturday Washington won't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

Impact Washington sustained the sprained ankle in pregame warmups and was removed from the starting lineup before eventually being ruled out. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets. With the 27-year-old forward joining Anthony Davis (calf), Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (foot) on the sidelines, Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson and Caleb Martin are candidates for increased playing time.

Impact Washington turned his ankle when the ball rolled up under him during warm-ups, and that was the reason why he was removed from the starting lineup. Naji Marshall replaced him in the first unit, and it's uncertain whether Washington will play at all Saturday. He's officially questionable to return, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

Strong showing in Miami Washington registered 27 points (10-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat.

Impact Washington did his best to propel the Mavs to a victory by leading the way in scoring. However, he didn't get nearly enough help, as the next leading scorer was Max Christie with 15 points. Washington has stabilized his production on the boards and as a scorer lately, averaging 17.0 points and 8.4 rebounds in his last five appearances.

Not listed on report for Monday Washington (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Washington exited Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter and didn't return due to a low-back issue. However, he's set to return to action Monday. Over his last five games, Washington has averaged 15.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes per contest.

Doesn't return Saturday Washington exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 102-96 loss to Memphis due to a low back issue and didn't return, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports...

Impact Washington checked out of the game with 4:54 remaining in the final quarter, and while he returned to the bench shortly thereafter, he didn't check back in. He finished with 15 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes. The 27-year-old forward's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's game against the Heat.

Sniffs double-double Washington closed with 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 37 minutes during Friday's 118-115 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Washington finished just one rebound away from what would've been his first double-double since Nov. 5 -- coincidentally, he last achieved this feat in a game against the Pelicans. Washington has been a regular starter for Dallas despite filling in different roles throughout the season, and he remains productive. The inconsistency in the scoring column has been an issue, but Washington might be turning things around in that regard -- two of his three games with at least 20 points this season have come during his past four appearances.
