P.J. Washington Suffers Right Ankle Sprain, Won't Return to Game

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington will not return to Saturday's game against the Rockets after suffering a right ankle sprain. Washington played 12 minutes before exiting, recording zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one steal, and one block. His absence further thins the Mavericks' frontcourt depth. Naji Marshall is expected to see an increased role off the bench with Washington sidelined.
