Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Officially Ruled Out

Mavericks forward P.J. Washington will miss the remainder of the season due to a foot injury.

The team announced the news on Tuesday, saying that Washington had suffered a fracture in his right foot during Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The timeline for Washington's return is still unknown, but the Mavericks said that he will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Washington has been a key player for the Mavericks this season, averaging 10.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He has also been a solid contributor on the defensive end, averaging 1.3 steals per game.

The Mavericks will now be without Washington for the rest of the season, which is a major blow to their playoff hopes. They are currently in seventh place in the Western Conference, but they are just one game ahead of the eighth-place Los Angeles Clippers.

The Mavericks will need to find a way to replace Washington's production, and they may need to make a trade before the deadline on February 9.

Washington's injury is a major setback for the Mavericks, but they will need to find a way to move on without him if they want to make the playoffs.
