Washington will draw his first career start in place of Chris Duarte (COVID-19 protocols) during Friday's contest against the Bulls, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Washington has only made four appearances for the Pacers this season, but in his most recent outing, he played a career-high 11 minutes and totaled two points, two rebounds and two assists. The rookie guard is expected to garner a much bigger role Friday.
