Serviceable performance Friday Washington ended with 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 121-82 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Washington chipped in across the board, contributing in all the major categories in a modest yet serviceable performance.

Struggles in return Washington accumulated eight points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-86 loss to the Nets.

Impact Washington was back in the lineup after missing four consecutive games due to a foot injury, playing 36 minutes in what was an ugly defeat. The Hornets are simply playing for lottery balls at this point, something that could go one of two ways for Washington. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) done for the season, there are going to be more shots available moving forward. While Washington should feature a bit more on the offensive end, his lack of efficiency could be an issue down the stretch, especially for anyone not punting field goal percentage.

Hornets Update P.J. Washington's Status Charlotte gets some help back tonight.

MARCH 5, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Available to play Washington (foot) will be available to play Sunday against the Nets.

Impact Washington is back after a four-game stint on the sidelines, and his return will likely result in JT Thor returning to the second unit and Nick Richards' minutes could dip. Washington may have his minutes monitored in his first game back, but he's safe to activate in season-long settings.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Sunday Washington (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact After four missed games with a sprained right foot, Washington is expected back Sunday, which should push JT Thor to the bench. Before Washington's absence, he was on a seven-game stretch with averages of 19.3 points, 6.4 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Washington (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Washington was considered doubtful for Friday's matchup, so his unavailability is unsurprising. Coach Steve Clifford said Washington could return during the Hornets' upcoming road trip but noted that Thursday's matchup against Detroit would be more likely than either of the team's matchups in New York early in the week.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to sit Friday Washington (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game versus Orlando.

Impact Washington will likely miss his fourth straight game Friday with a right foot sprain. If the 24-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Washington (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns.

Impact Washington will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right foot sprain. He was spotted Tuesday without a walking boot, so he appears to be making progress and may be back in the mix soon. JT Thor figures to remain in the starting lineup until Washington is cleared to return.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play against Phoenix Washington (foot) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Washington will likely miss his third straight game Wednesday due to a right foot sprain. JT Thor will likely continue to start in his absence. If Washington is officially ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Orlando.

Sheds walking boot Washington was spotted at the Hornets' practice session Tuesday and wasn't sporting a walking boot to protect his sprained right foot, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer repo...

Impact Washington's ability to ditch the boot seems like a positive sign, but it's unclear if he was able to do anything more than light shooting Tuesday, as he didn't appear to be wearing his usual practice gear. The Hornets should provide an updated injury report later Tuesday, which will shed more light on Washington's status heading into Wednesday's game against the Suns. The foot issue has sidelined Washington for both of Charlotte's last two games.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Monday Washington (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit.

Impact Washington was doubtful ahead of Monday's game, so it's not very surprising to see him unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. JT Thor should see increased playing time once again.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Washington (foot) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Washington was unavailable for Saturday's game against Miami, and he'll likely be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Monday. Assuming he's sidelined, JT Thor should continue to see increased run.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Washington (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Washington was listed as a game-time call to face Miami, but in the end, he's been ruled out due to a right foot strain. JT Thor will start in his place, while Washington's next chance to feature will come Monday against the Pistons.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Saturday Washington (foot) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Heat.

Impact Washington finished Friday's win over Minnesota with 20 points, eight rebounds, one steal and one block in 35 minutes, but it was announced after the game that he had suffered a right foot sprain. It appears like he'll miss at least one contest, but his status moving forward is unclear. If he's ultimately ruled out Saturday, his next chance to suit up would arrive Monday versus Detroit.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury in victory Washington sprained his right foot in Friday's 121-113 win over Minnesota, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Washington recorded 20 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 35 minutes before suffering his injury Friday. Fantasy managers should wait until an official injury report is released to learn his status ahead of Saturday's game versus Miami.
