Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Hits for 22 in Tuesday's win
Washington ended Tuesday's 118-97 victory over the Lakers with 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes.
With both Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) in street clothes, Washington has stepped up for the Mavs. During the three games both star guards have missed in January, Washington is averaging 18.0 points, 8.3 boards, 2.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals while seeing his usage skyrocket -- he's averaged 18.0 FG attempts and 6.0 three-point attempts during that stretch, volume well above his norm. Irving could be back later this month, but Doncic is expected to be sidelined into February, so the door is open for Washington to continue seeing an elevated role in the short term.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Posts double-double in loss
Washington logged 17 points (7-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 boards, five assists and three steals during 32 minutes of action in the 119-104 loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
The big man led his team in scoring and, although his efficiency left much to be desired, he stuffed the stat sheet nonetheless. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) playing just eight minutes before leaving the game and Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) already out, the offensive load fell on Washington, who took more shots Monday than he has all season. Since Doncic is shut down for the foreseeable future, Irving has been deemed out for one-to-two weeks and head coach Jason Kidd has called Gafford's future availability into question, Washington could remain the team's top option going forward.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Will play Friday against Cleveland
Washington (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Washington sprained his right knee in the second quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Rockets and did not return for the second half. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game, but the injury doesn't appear severe enough for the 26-year-old forward to be sidelined. Washington's availability is crucial for a Dallas team that will be without Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (illness) for Friday's tilt.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Iffy for Friday
Washington (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Washington suffered a right knee sprain in Wednesday's game against the Rockets. The veteran forward may be unable to take the floor Friday against the Cavaliers, which would be a costly loss for Dallas. He averages 12.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. If Washington is ruled out, Maxi Kleber (oblique) is also listed as questionable, and Naji Marshall is serving a suspension, which means the Mavericks will be thin in the frontcourt and may have to turn to Klay Thompson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper or potentially Dwight Powell or Daniel Gafford to help out at power forward.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Suffers knee sprain
Washington has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Houston due to a right knee sprain.
Washington likely suffered the injury at some point in the second quarter, as he posted six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes in the first half before Maxi Kleber replaced him in the starting five to open the third quarter. The severity of Washington's sprain isn't known, so he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Friday's game against the Cavaliers until the Mavericks provide an update on his condition.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Posts season-high 28 points
Washington had 28 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to Sacramento.
Washington had a thunderous return to the lineup after serving a one-game suspension, although his season-high total wasn't enough to turn the tide against the Kings. Kyrie Irving's (shoulder) absence provided some additional shot opportunities for the rest of the starting five, and Washington attempted a season-high 20 shots, eclipsing his previous high by a wide margin. The big man also flashed his proficiency as a long-range threat, drilling a season-high four three-pointers during the loss.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Dealt one-game suspension
The NBA announced Saturday that Washington has been suspended one game for his role in an on-court altercation in Friday's 98-89 win over the Suns.
Dallas' Naji Marshall (four games) and Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic (three games) also received suspensions for their roles in the altercation, which happened after Nurkic was charged with an offensive foul with 9:02 remaining in third quarter Friday. Both Marshall and Nurkic exchanged strikes, prompting Washington to step in and push Nurkic to the floor. Washington will serve his suspension Saturday at Portland, meaning the next time he'll be available to take the floor will come Monday against the Kings.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Gets tossed Friday vs. Phoenix
Washington was ejected in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Suns. He'll end the night with seven points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes.
Jusuf Nurkic and Naji Marshall got into a fight midway through the first quarter, and Washington joined the duo in being tossed after shoving Nurkic to the ground. The Mavericks will turn to Maxi Kleber, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper due to the ejections of Washington and Marshall.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Underwhelming performance in loss
Washington logged seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves.
Washington had one of his worst games of the season, scoring fewer than 10 points for the first time in the past 11 games. Although his offensive and defensive production can fluctuate from game to game, his value to this team cannot be overstated. When all is said and done, he provides the Mavericks with a viable threat on both ends of the floor, currently averaging 12.4 points and 7.9 rebounds to go with 2.4 combined steals and blocks.

Washington (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Washington will return to action Sunday after missing Dallas' most recent outing due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Quentin Grimes against Golden State.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Returns to practice Friday
Coach Jason Kidd said Washington (illness) was a participant at Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Washington sat out of Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals loss to the Thunder due to an illness, though he appears to be gearing up for a return during Sunday's matchup against the Warriors. The 26-year-old continues to play a crucial role in the club's offensive scheme, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc across 33.6 minutes per game.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Officially ruled out
Washington (illness) won't play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Thunder, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Expected to sit out Tuesday
The Mavericks are expecting Washington (illness) to miss Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Thunder, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Washington is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest but is now expected to sit out. Naji Marshall (illness) will likely receive increased playing time in his absence.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Iffy for Tuesday
Washington (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Naji Marshall (illness) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (illness) has already been ruled out. Washington has a sizeable role for the Mavericks, so if he's unable to go, it's likely that coach Jason Kidd rolls with a committee approach to soak up his minutes.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Extends double-digit scoring streak
Washington chipped in 10 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-101 victory over Washington.
Although he didn't play in the fourth quarter of Thursday's rout, Washington put forth a modest effort and scored in double digits for the eighth straight game before his night came to a close. Through his last 10 contests, Washington is averaging 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.1 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting a scorching 54.1 percent from deep. He should continue offering disruptive defense to the Mavericks while seeing plenty of open looks from downtown as opposing defenses focus on containing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Comes close to triple-double
Washington produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 victory over the Knicks.
Even though Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes led the Mavericks on offense in this win, there's no question Washington had a massive impact due to his two-way contributions. The veteran forward finished just three assists away from a triple-double, and he continues to find ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring at a high rate. Washington is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game across his last six outings while posting five double-doubles in that stretch.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Impresses with double-double
Washington notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to Miami.
Washington has really started to find his form with three double-doubles in his last four games. In that span, Washington has averaged 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers. With Luka Doncic sidelined by a wrist issue, there should be plenty of usage to go around in Dallas.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Double-double in Friday's win
Washington provided 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 123-120 win over the Nuggets.
It's the second double-double in three games for Washington since he returned to the Dallas starting lineup. The 26-year-old forward missed five games earlier this month with a knee injury and delivered an unimpressive four-point, six-rebound effort Tuesday against the Pelicans, but he's at least been consistent on the defensive end. In those three starts, he's recorded four steals and three blocks.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Career night on glass
Washington racked up 27 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-119 win over Oklahoma City.
The 17 boards were a career high for the 26-year-old forward, who also produced a season-high scoring effort in the absence of Luka Doncic (knee). Washington missed five games himself earlier this month due to knee trouble, and he was making his first start since Nov. 4. Doncic isn't expected to be sidelined for long, but Washington could continue to see elevated usage as long as the Mavs' superstar is unavailable.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Back in starting lineup Sunday
Washington will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Washington returned Friday in a limited role after missing five straight games due to a knee injury, but he will return to the starting five Sunday. With Luka Doncic (knee) unavailable, Washington may be called upon more often offensively.
