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

Impact Washington initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to left ankle soreness, an injury that prevented him from playing Friday. It looks as though the veteran forward will be available, and his return would likely bump Naji Marshall or Ryan Nembhard from the Mavericks' starting lineup. Washington has averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 threes over 29.7 minutes per game since March 1.

Questionable for Sunday Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Washington missed Friday's loss to the Cavaliers due to left ankle soreness, though there's a chance he will return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland. If the 27-year-old forward remains out, Khris Middleton, Caleb Martin (finger) and Naji Marshall would be candidates for increased minutes.

Not playing Friday Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ron Harrod of DLLS Sports reports.

Impact Washington's absence comes as no surprise, given that he drew the doubtful tag for Friday's game after playing in the front end of the Mavericks' back-to-back set against the Grizzlies on Thursday, when he logged 12 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes in a 120-112 win. Khris Middleton figures to be the top candidate to enter the Mavericks' starting lineup in Washington's absence. Washington's next chance to play is in Sunday's rematch against the Cavs.

Doubtful for Friday Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Washington put up a solid 12-point, 10-rebound double-double in 28 minutes during Thursday's win over Memphis, but the Mavericks are leaning toward caution on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Since returning from a three-game absence for the same injury earlier this month, Washington has struggled to find his offensive rhythm; over his last six outings, he is averaging just 10.7 points and 5.8 rebounds on 36.2% shooting from the floor. With Klay Thompson (rest) also expected back for this contest, the Mavericks have enough wing depth to give Washington a night off.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Notches double-double in win Washington registered 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Washington secured his first double-double since February 20 on Thursday, helping Dallas snap an eight-game losing streak. While the rebounding was a welcome sight, his shooting struggles remained a factor as he went 0-for-3 from deep and hit just 41.7% of his field-goal attempts. Since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, Washington has struggled to find his rhythm; over his last six outings, he is averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting a lackluster 36.2% from the field.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Poor production continues Washington registered seven points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Washington struggled for the third straight game, continuing what has been a poor month. In 10 appearances during that time, Washington has barely been a top-200 player, averaging 13.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per contest. For those in the fantasy playoffs, it's time to make some tough decisions, one of which might be to part ways with Washington.

Shooting woes in return Washington (ankle) chipped in 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Washington returned from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and immediately stepped back into the starting five. However, the 27-year-old forward struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end and didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers. The seventh-year pro has appeared in four outings since the All-Star break, averaging 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 32.8 minutes per contest during that period.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Tuesday Washington (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Expected to play Tuesday Washington (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Washington was previously labeled as questionable, but he appears very likely to return from a three-game absence. Washington may face restrictions in his return, but the Mavericks don't really have the luxury of holding him back too much with so many injuries.

Impact Washington will miss a third straight outing due to a left ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Charlotte. With the 27-year-old forward being joined by Cooper Flagg (foot) and Naji Marshall (finger) on the sidelines, Caleb Martin, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are candidates for increased playing time.

Doubtful for Sunday Washington (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Washington has already missed two consecutive games due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Tuesday against the Nets, and he appears likely to remain sidelined for the series finale of the Mavericks' three-game homestand. With Washington expected to be out, and Cooper Flagg (foot) out, the Mavericks will likely continue to lean heavily on Naji Marshall (finger) and Khris Middleton in the frontcourt.

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

Impact Washington was initially tagged as questionable for Friday's contest due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained in Tuesday's win over the Grizzlies. The veteran forward will indeed be sidelined for both games of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, and his next chance to play is Sunday against the Thunder. Khris Middleton will continue to operate in an expanded role in Washington's absence.

Doubtful for Friday Washington (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis.

Impact It appears that the Mavericks will hold Washington out for the second game in a row. The team is going to be very shorthanded, and that means veteran Khris Middleton may again play a key role at forward.

Not playing Thursday Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Impact Washington sprained his left ankle late in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's win over the Nets. The injury is severe enough for the veteran forward to miss Thursday's contest and is seemingly in jeopardy of also missing Friday's contest against the Grizzlies. Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson figure to be the top candidates to enter the Mavericks' starting lineup in Washington's absence.

Impact Washington stepped on an opposing player's foot and rolled his left ankle before limping to the locker room late in the fourth. If he's forced to miss additional time, Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson are candidates for increased minutes. Washington's next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Kings.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Strong two-way performance Washington contributed 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Washington turned in his eighth 20-point effort of the season, also submitting a full stat line. As long as Cooper Flagg (foot) remains sidelined, more usage should continue to head Washington's direction. Over his past five appearances, Washington has averaged 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per game.

Solid in return to starting five Washington amassed 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to the Suns.

Impact After missing the first two games in February due to a concussion and then coming off the bench Saturday, Washington rejoined the starting lineup, although his workload remained limited. The 27-year-old forward has had trouble staying on the court since the calendar flipped to 2026 -- Washington has suited up for only 10 of the Mavericks' last 19 contests, averaging 10.2 points, 5.1 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 threes in 26.7 minutes over that span.
