  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Absent from injury report

    Washington (hip) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's preseason game against the Clippers.

    Washington has been nursing a hip injury since the beginning of preseason play, but he was cleared for non-contact work Saturday and now appears poised to make his preseason debut Monday evening. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Dallas play it safe with Washington in terms of playing time during Monday's exhibition with the regular season right around the corner.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Progressing to 3-on-3 drills

    Washington (hip) has progressed to 3-on-3 contact drills during practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Washington has yet to play in the preseason, but his progression in practice bodes well for his availability on Opening Night. The 26-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Clippers, though he may remain sidelined throughout the preseason.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Dealing with hip issue

    Washington will not play in Monday's preseason game against Memphis due to left hip tightness.

    Presumably, the Mavericks are just being cautious with four starters getting the night off. Washington should be considered questionable for Thursday's preseason game against Utah. In 29 regular-season games for Dallas in 2023-24, Washington averaged 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Struggles in Game 5 loss

    Washington ended Monday's 106-88 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the NBA Finals with four points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 34 minutes.

    Washington produced one of his worst games of the playoffs in Game 5. Overall, he was a key part of Dallas' starting five, averaging 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22 starts. The Mavericks acquired the 25-year-old at the trade deadline, and he averaged 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks across 29 regular-season games. Dallas has Washington under contract until the 2026-27 season and will look to return to the NBA Finals next season, likely keeping most, if not all, of their core group from this season.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Comes close to double-double

    Washington finished with 13 points (3-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 106-99 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

    Washington finished just two rebounds shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since May 15, when he recorded 10 points and 10 rebounds in the Game 5 win over the Thunder. He's been surprisingly consistent in the Finals despite Dallas' three straight losses, scoring in double figures and grabbing at least seven boards in each outing. He'll aim to keep this streak going in Game 4 on Friday.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Gets offense going inside arc

    Washington notched 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 40 minutes during Sunday's 105-98 loss to Boston in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Despite going 1-for-5 from three, Washington put together an efficient performance, playing physical in the paint. His 17 points were his most since May 13, which was Game 4 against the Thunder. Now, for a critical Game 3, Dallas goes home, where Washington is averaging 14.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the postseason.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Sniffs double-double in Game 1 loss

    Washington closed Thursday's 107-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals with 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes.

    The Mavericks struggled on offense all game long and didn't even reach the 90-point mark, but Washington was one of the few decent performers on a Dallas team that looked overmatched at times. Washington has looked comfortable being Dallas' third-best offensive player during this postseason run, but his efforts were not enough in this lopsided defeat. Washington has now scored in double digits in each of his last six playoff outings.
