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

Out Tuesday Washington (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Washington is dealing with a right foot injury, and the issue is severe enough to sideline him for this contest. The forward's next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Christmas. Naji Marshall, Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin should see more time in the frontcourt with Washington.

Questionable for Tuesday Washington is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with right foot soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Washington, and it's also the second leg of a back-to-back set. With that in mind, it's very possible the Mavericks are contemplating a maintenance day here. If Washington can't go, Naji Marshall and Caleb Martin could be more involved for Dallas.

Notches eight points Washington totaled eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Washington just missed a double-double, but he wasn't too involved in the offense. Despite this relatively quiet showing, Washington has produced sixth-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games with averages of 14.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers.

Big double-double in OT loss Washington chipped in 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to Utah.

Impact It was Washington's third double-double of the season, but his first since Nov. 5 as he's dealt with a couple nagging injuries over the last month-plus. The 13 boards were also a season high for the 27-year-old forward, and he's drained at least one three-pointer in 10 straight contests dating back to Nov. 18, a stretch in which he's averaging 18.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 threes, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Shines defensively in return Washington (ankle) registered 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, five steals, one assist and one block across 36 minutes in Saturday's 122-109 win over the Rockets.

Impact The 9-16 Mavericks turned in one of their best games of the season while cruising to a win over the 15-6 Rockets, and Washington's performance on the defensive end was instrumental in the upset victory. Back in action after missing the previous four games due to a right ankle sprain, Washington faced no restrictions with his minutes and ended up establishing a new season high in steals. Washington was at his more natural power forward spot Saturday while Anthony Davis shifted over to center, but Washington could end up seeing more playing time on the wing if Daniel Gafford (ankle) returns for Dallas' next game Friday versus the Nets.

Available for Saturday Washington (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact After sitting out the past four games, Washington was able to shed his questionable tag for this contest. However, it's possible he could face some restrictions in his return to the rotation.

Questionable for Saturday Washington (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Washington has missed the past four games for the Mavericks, and he'll essentially be a game-time call Saturday night with there not being a shootaround on the second leg of a back-to-back set. If he is able to get back out there, Naji Marshall would likely head back to the second unit.

Remains out Friday Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Washington will miss a fourth straight game and can be considered questionable for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set Saturday against the Rockets. However, Washington has been initially listed as questionable for each of the past three games, so that designation doesn't offer a ton of optimism. Naji Marshall figures to draw another start in Washington's absence against Oklahoma City.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Ruled out Wednesday Washington (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Washington will be sidelined for a third straight game Wednesday. He did participate in the morning shootaround, however, so a return appears to be on the horizon. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Thunder, the first leg of a back-to-back set.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Present at morning shootaround Washington (ankle) was spotted at Wednesday morning's shootaround, Abby Jones of DLLS Sports reports.

Impact While Washington is deemed questionable to play Wednesday due to his ankle injury, his presence at the team's shootaround is an encouraging sign that he may play. Washington missed the last two games, but if he returns Wednesday, Naji Marshall may revert back to the bench as a result.

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.

Won't play Monday Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Washington will miss his second consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. On a more positive note, the 27-year-old forward participated in Monday's shootaround, which bodes well for his chances of returning against the Heat on Wednesday. With Washington sidelined, Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson and Caleb Martin are candidates for increased minutes.

Active at shootaround Washington (ankle) participated in Monday's shootaround, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Washington's presence at the session perhaps places him on the right side of the questionable tag for Monday's tilt in Denver. For the year, the veteran forward has averaged 16.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 assists in 31.7 minutes per contest in 19 games.

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.
