Hornets overcome LeBron's comeback, hold off Lakers 134-130

The Charlotte Hornets held off the Los Angeles Lakers 134-130 for only their second victory in 11 games

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • Associated Press

Inefficient in Sunday's return Washington finished Sunday's 119-115 loss to Denver with 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact Washington returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to personal reasons but was unable to find his rhythm on the offensive end. Poor efficiency is something that has plagued him for the majority of the season, dragging his value outside the top 100. Thankfully, he has been a steady source of peripheral numbers, somewhat salvaging what has been an underwhelming season thus far.

Should play Sunday Washington (personal) is not listed in the injury report and should be available to play Sunday against the Nuggets.

Impact Washington missed Friday's game against the Hawks due to personal reasons, but it seems he's ready to resume his duties in the starting lineup when Charlotte takes on Denver on Sunday. He's averaging a career-high 15.0 points per game in 2022-23.

Ruled out Friday Washington will miss Friday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons.

Impact Washington's absence comes as a surprise, given he was not on the injury report prior to being ruled out. Fantasy managers can turn to Jalen McDaniels and Kai Jones as streaming options as they are likely to pick up his vacated minutes. Although no further information regarding the expected duration of Washington's absence has been released, his next opportunity to play will come Sunday in Denver.

Not on injury report Washington (eye) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against New York.

Impact Washington exited Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right eye injury that he sustained in the fourth quarter, but the issue won't impact his availability two days later. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 15.0 points, 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 32.2 minutes per game.

Doubtful to return Wednesday Washington is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn due to a right eye injury.

Impact Washington was hit in the right eye during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's matchup and likely won't return. It's unclear at the moment if Washington will be held out for Friday's game against New York. The Kentucky product posted 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes before exiting.

Bounces back Monday Washington recorded 26 points (11-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The fourth-year forward stumbled to zero points in 33 minutes on 0-for-13 shooting against the Bucks on Saturday, but Washington shook off that awful performance and scored 20-plus for the fourth time in the last nine games. Over that stretch, he's averaging 18.1 points, 5.0 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.0 steals as he takes on a bigger role for a Hornets squad that's seen little of LaMelo Ball (ankle) or Gordon Hayward (shoulder) this season.

Impact Washington couldn't quite lock in from beyond the arc, but he shot well from the field and also racked up a season-high four steals. The Kentucky product has put up 20-plus points in back-to-back contests and has done so in an efficient manner, knocking down 17 of 36 field-goal attempts.

Hits four threes in loss Washington chipped in 24 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-113 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Washington missed his only two field-goal attempts in the first quarter before hitting four straight shots to begin the second, two of which came off assists from LaMelo Ball. The Hornets power forward finished the first half with 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-5 from three-point range while adding four assists and four rebounds. However, Washington would only knock down three more shots for another 10 points in the second half on 3-of-8 shooting as Ball exited the game with an ankle injury. The Pacers stormed ahead down the stretch. It was Washington's fourth time this season breaking the 20-point mark and his second time hitting four threes, but his effort would fall short as the Hornets lost their ninth game out of their last 10.

Drops 25 in Monday's loss Washington ended with 25 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to the Wizards.

Impact The fourth-year forward hit for at least 25 points for the third time in the last six games, but the Hornets have only one win to show for that productive stretch from Washington. His increased usage has him headed for a career-best season, and through 11 games he's averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 threes, 1.5 assists and 1.4 blocks.
