P.J. Washington Suspended for One Game with Mavericks
P.J. Washington of the Dallas Mavericks has been suspended for one game due to his role in escalating an on-court altercation. This incident will keep him out of the lineup, impacting the team’s rotation and strategy.
What It Means
Washington’s suspension means that the Mavericks will miss his contributions on both ends of the floor. He is averaging 12.2 points per game and 7.7 rebounds this season, making him a key player in their frontcourt.
With Washington out, Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper may see increased playing time. Kleber averages 17.5 minutes per game, while Prosper plays 6.9 minutes per game. The team will need to adjust quickly to fill the gap left by Washington’s absence.
