Washington will be held under 30 minutes Thursday night against the Warriors, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington has missed the team's last three matchups while attending to a personal matter, so the Mavs are aiming for caution in his return to the hardwood. He's appeared in only one game since Jan. 3, so it may take a few games to build his conditioning back up.

Washington (personal/ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Washington was initially listed as probable for Saturday's bout while managing a right ankle injury. The veteran forward will instead be sidelined while attending to a personal matter, and his next opportunity to play is Monday against the Knicks. Caleb Martin, Klay Thompson and the recently signed Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are in line to see their minutes increase in Washington's absence.

Washington is probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Thursday's win over Utah, Washington appears to be ready to play in Saturday's rematch. Over his last 12 appearances, Washington has averaged 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.9 minutes per game. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) listed as doubtful, Washington should see a few additional shot attempts fall his direction.

Washington is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Thursday is the second leg of Dallas' back-to-back set, the expectation is that Washington will be available for Saturday's meeting with Utah. Klay Thompson is a candidate to start for the undermanned Mavericks on Thursday, putting him in the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues.

Washington is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.
EDGE Analysis
The Mavericks are considering holding Washington out of action for maintenance reasons. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) not expected to be available, Klay Thompson could see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in shallow leagues, and Caleb Martin is an option in deep formats.

Washington (ankle) tallied 12 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes Wednesday in the Mavericks' 118-109 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Washington didn't operate with a strict minutes limit in his return from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, but the veteran forward struggled to get his shots to fall both from the field and the free-throw line Wednesday, resulting in a disappointing line. With star rookie Cooper Flagg (ankle) exiting the game early and perhaps in danger of missing time, Washington could be needed to handle an elevated role on the offensive end in Thursday's contest against the Jazz. However, since Washington just returned from an injury of his own, the Mavericks may opt to have him sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set for maintenance purposes.
