The Dallas Mavericks will face the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers in a crunch regular season matchup on Friday. The Mavericks have been grappling with a slew of injuries, with several key players sidelined in recent games.
Superstar Luka Doncic remains out with the left calf strain he sustained during the Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Additionally, coach Jason Kidd has had to navigate the absences of Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson and Dereck Lively II in recent outings.
As Dallas prepares for the challenge of facing the Cavaliers, who boast an impressive 29-4 record, the availability of P.J. Washington is a significant concern.
Washington, a vital member of the Mavericks' starting lineup, suffered a right knee sprain during the team's 110-99 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. He exited the game after logging just 16 minutes and is listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report for Friday's game.
