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

Quiet in decisive loss Washington supplied nine points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds across 25 minutes during Thursday's 133-112 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Washington's performance was arguably his worst since Nov. 17 against the Bucks, where he provided only three points, three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes. Even when Washington struggles shooting the rock, he often uplifts his statline through supplementary stats. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about one poor performance against a quality Lakers frontcourt of Anthony Davis and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Boosts offense off bench in win Washington finished Saturday's 102-95 loss to the Nuggets with 20 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals over 28 minutes.

Impact Washington led all bench players in Saturday's contest in points and rebounds while notching a team-best steals mark and ending two boards short of a double-double. Washington has tallied 20 or more points in five games this season, hauling in eight or more boards in five outings. He has recorded at least four steals in two of his last three games.

Not starting Wednesday Washington won't start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact With Charlotte shorthanded, Washington drew a start Monday but will return to a reserve role Wednesday. Either way, his total minutes should change much, as he's averaged 29.1 minutes as a reserve (eight games) and 32.9 minutes as a starter (13 games) this season -- excluding the game he left due to injury.

Fills stat sheet Washington had 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and four steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 114-99 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Washington had missed back-to-back games coming into Monday due to a shoulder issue, but he looked spry against the Raptors and put together one of his best displays of the season. Miles Bridges was denied entry into Toronto for Monday's game due to legal reasons, so Washington took advantage of the increased usage and minutes. Bridges should be back for Wednesday against the Pacers, while Gordon Hayward's (illness) status is in the air.

Officially cleared Washington (shoulder) is available for Monday's game in Toronto.

Impact As expected, Washington has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up after missing back-to-back games due to a shoulder injury. With Miles Bridges (not injury related), Nathan Mensah (personal) and Mark Williams (back) all out, Washington should play 30-plus minutes against Toronto.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Washington (shoulder), who's officially listed as questionable, is expected to play in Monday's game in Toronto, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact With Miles Bridges (not injury related) and Nathan Mensah (personal) out and Mark Williams (back) doubtful, Washington's presence will be vital to Charlotte's frontcourt. Washington has missed the past two games due to a shoulder injury, but he was playing well before that, averaging 12.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes per game over his previous seven appearances.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Washington (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto.

Impact Washington has missed the last two games due to a shoulder injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's unavailable, JT Thor and Nick Richards are candidates to see increased run.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed doubtful Washington (shoulder) is considered doubtful for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Washington missed Friday's game after injuring his shoulder earlier in the week and is trending towards missing both games of the back-to-back set. He has not officially been ruled out, but barring a quick turnaround, Charlotte could be without both Mark Williams (back) and Washington in the frontcourt. If that is indeed the case, Nick Richards would be the prime beneficiary, while JR Thor could also enter the rotation.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Washington (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Washington sustained a left shoulder injury Wednesday against Miami and will be forced to miss at least one game. Bryce McGowens and JT Thor are candidates to see increased run against New Orleans, while it's unclear whether Washington will be available Saturday against the 76ers.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Washington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to return against Miami Washington is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game versus the Heat due to a left shoulder injury.

Impact Washington tallied one assist and one steal in four minutes before exiting Wednesday's contest. JT Thor and Bryce McGowens will likely receive extended minutes if Washington is unable to return.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in loss Washington recorded 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Heat.

Impact Washington has cooled since supplying 17.2 points in the season's first 10 games, dipping to 10.8 points on 36.3 percent shooting since. Averaging 12.3 points across six games since LaMelo Ball suffered a serious ankle sprain, Washington's ceiling has been dented slightly, but he's still a key piece of Charlotte's offense.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes across the board Washington finished Thursday's 129-128 win over the Nets with 10 points (2-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes.

Impact Brandon Miller (ankle) sat out Thursday's game, and although Washington didn't get the start, he reached 33 minutes for the first time since Nov. 18. Miles Bridges is clearly the favored option at power forward for Charlotte, but Washington's ability to contribute across the box score will help to keep his fantasy value afloat as a key part of the second unit.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Washington (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Impact As expected, Washington and Terry Rozier (groin) have both been upgraded from probable to available. With Miles Bridges back in the mix, Washington is expected to come off the bench.

Expected to play Sunday Washington (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Washington is expected to return to action Sunday after missing Wednesday's contest with right foot discomfort. With Miles Bridges part of the starting rotation, Washington should serve as one of Charlotte's first options off the bench in the frontcourt.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Washington (foot) is out for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Washington will miss his second straight game Sunday due to right foot discomfort. Mark Williams and JT Thor will likely continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Washington's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

P.J. Washington Ruled Out vs. Wizards Tonight’s injury report for the Charlotte Hornets.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Late scratch Washington has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards due to right foot discomfort.

Impact Washington is a late scratch after not appearing on any of Charlotte's previous injury reports. He recently lost his starting spot to Miles Bridges, so in Washington's absence, JT Thor is a candidate for increased bench minutes behind Bridges and Mark Williams.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive despite bench role Washington ended Monday's 121-118 overtime victory over the Celtics with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes.

Impact Washington moved to the bench Monday, ceding his starting spot to Miles Bridges. After a couple of poor performances, Washington got things back on track in the victory, a welcome sign for anyone still holding him in standard formats. Despite the fact his role is likely to be scaled back slightly, he remains a viable asset, albeit one who could very well end up on a few waiver wires should his numbers dwindle once again.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Washington won't start Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Washington started each of his 12 appearances to start the season but will revert back to a bench role now that Miles Bridges is fully integrated into Charlotte's rotation. Washington hasn't come off the bench since the 2021-22 season, when he averaged career-low numbers across the board, so the move will undoubtedly be a blow to his fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles badly vs. New York Washington finished with three points (1-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, a steal and two blocks across 33 minutes in Saturday's 122-108 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Washington delivered a 32-point performance against the Heat on Nov. 14, but that might have been an isolated situation since he has failed to reach the five-point mark in three of his last four contests. However, Washington scored in double digits in his first eight appearances, so this is nothing more than a slump for him -- albeit a noticeable one given the shooting woes. The five-year veteran will try to bounce back Monday in a tough matchup against the Celtics.

PJ Washington on Miles Bridges return: 'I just can't wait for ya'll to see him' ON MILES BRIDGES’ RETURN ON FRIDAY “He’s going to be great,” Washington said. “I just can’t wait for ya’ll to see him. I know he’s excited t...

Usage monster again Washington supplied 32 points (12-23 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 loss to Miami.

Impact Washington stepped up with Gordon Hayward (hamstring), Brandon Miller (ankle) and Terry Rozier (groin) out. Washington's scoring isn't always conducive to Charlotte winning, but he's a huge part of the offense -- especially when he's connecting on threes at volume. It will be interesting to see the future allocation of Washington's minutes with Miles Bridges (suspension) returning Friday against Milwaukee.
