The Dallas Mavericks have received a boost as forward P.J. Washington is back on the roster after being sidelined due to an ankle injury for several games. The team announced that he has been cleared and will be available for their upcoming match against the Philadelphia 76ers this Sunday.
Washington, who missed two consecutive games, was listed as day-to-day since suffering a minor setback last week. His return is timely given the Mavericks' recent string of tough matchups, including a crucial clash with the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the week.
The 25-year-old forward has been a key contributor for Dallas this season, averaging 10 points and 6 rebounds per game. His presence on the court is expected to bolster the team's frontcourt depth as they navigate through a challenging stretch of their schedule.
With Washington back in action, coach Jason Kidd will have more options to deploy off the bench, potentially easing the load on starters like Luka Dončić and Kristaps Porziņģis. The team is hoping for a strong performance from him as they look to secure playoff positioning with just over a month left in the regular season.
As Washington rejoins his teammates, fans are eager to see how he integrates back into the lineup and contributes to the team's push towards the postseason.
