PJ Washington's injury status vs. Hornets

Washington has been dealing with an ankle injury. The Mavs forward returned following the All-Star break and has consistently played since, however. Still, he has been listed on the injury report in recent action.

According to the Hornets-Mavericks injury report, Washington is currently listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain. Washington's final injury status will prove to be crucial, as the Mavs need him on the floor without question. The team dropped both of their games on the aforementioned road trip, so earning a victory on Thursday will be important to say the least.

Dwight Powell, meanwhile, is listed as questionable.

Powell returned on Tuesday in the Mavs' 107-99 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas has endured center injury concerns, so Powell's return was pivotal. The Mavericks are hoping to have him available once again on Thursday.
