Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Green light to play Christmas Day

Washington (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Washington drew the questionable tag for Christmas Day due to a right foot injury, but the veteran forward has been cleared to return from a one-game absence, which means Naji Marshall will likely revert to a bench role against the Warriors. Washington has averaged 14.7 poitns, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals over his last six outings.
