On a night where the Mavericks are without big men Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford for a game against the Clippers, the team's frontcourt took another hit due to injury during warmups. Mavericks forward P.J. Washington had to be scratched from the team's starting lineup after he landed on a loose ball while warming up for the contest against Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome, according to NBA Insider Marc Stein.
While Dallas evidently held out hope that Washington would be able to suit up, the club eventually ruled out the veteran big man due to a right ankle sprain.
