Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington is on his way to the Dallas Mavericks after being traded for Grant Williams, Seth Curry, and a lightly protected 2027 first-round pick. Washington has been a good asset for the Hornets but didn't quite hit as high of a ceiling as the team was hoping. Instead, he'll fill a role that perfectly suits him on a Mavericks squad that needs another outlet scorer and a bigger presence since Williams wasn't cutting it this year. In his four-and-a-half seasons with the Hornets, Washington averaged 13.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 made threes, and 1.5 turnovers per contest while shooting 45.0% from the floor and 35.9% from beyond the arc.
Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (foot) will return for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The 25-year-old injured his ankle during the January 5 matchup against the Chicago Bulls, keeping him off the floor for Charlotte's following three contests. He was listed as doubtful, so most assumed he was heading for a fourth consecutive absence. However, Washington is good to go, which is welcome news, considering the Hornets are down Mark Williams (back) and Gordon Hayward (calf). Washington has averaged 12 points this season, more than two points less than a season ago. Still, he has the potential to see an increased workload and scoring opportunities, although he hasn't been a consistent fantasy contributor.
Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (foot) won't play in Wednesday's contest versus the Sacramento Kings. A sprained right foot held Washington to six minutes of court time last Friday, and he will not suit up for the second game in a row due to the injury. The 25-year-old stretch four will hope to get back into Charlotte's lineup when they start a three-game road trip on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. With Gordon Hayward (calf) and Mark Williams (back) stuck on the shelf for the Hornets as well, Miles Bridges and Nick Richards should dominate the frontcourt minutes on Wednesday. Brandon Miller will likely be needed for more minutes at the four, with JT Thor also staying quite involved from head coach Steve Clifford's second unit.
Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The 25-year-old missed Monday's matchup with Chicago because of a sprained foot, an injury he sustained on Friday in the first of consecutive meetings with the Bulls. It's a tough blow for Charlotte, who has been without LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (calf). Mark Williams (back) will also sit out another game on Wednesday, so the Hornets could be without a few big bodies to handle things underneath the basket. Of course, Nick Richards will remain in the starting lineup. But JT Thor, coming off a nine-point, eight-rebound, two-block performance, could see streaming interest from managers participating in deeper formats.
Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) was forced to exit the team's game on Friday with a right foot sprain after playing just six minutes. Now, he's ruled out for their game on Monday against the Chicago Bulls and there isn't an exact timetable for his return. This could end up being a one-game absence to allow him to get a bit more rest, but fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for those updates. Since he and Mark Williams (back) will both be out, Nick Richards, Nathan Mensah, and JT Thor will split time at center while Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller will handle the minutes at power forward and small forward.
