Darius

Washington Jr.

He also had three steals and buried a three on the night, but the chances are slim that he’ll end up on the team’s final regular-season roster.

Washington didn’t have any fantasy value, and probably won’t be recalled unless Jacque Vaughn or Tony Parker are injured.

Washington and Mahinmi could both end up in the Developmental League sooner rather than later, but Vaughn doesn’t have any value either, unless Tony Parker goes down.

Parker is expected to miss one or two more games for the Spurs, so Vaughn could theoretically have some short-term value. Seldom-used backup guard Darius Washington also got some burn, finishing with three points in 11 minutes. Judging by the numbers they put up in this game, we can’t recommend that you pick up either of these guys.

This may not be the last time he’s cut by the team, as he could be re-signed by them again later.

“We might as well find out what he can do,” Popovich said. “It might be that he turns into a hell of a player.” It might be, but he only scored four points in eleven minutes on Wednesday, so don’t get too fired up.

This is his second trip down to the minors this year.

It looks like the final roster decision for the Mavericks is between guard Jose Barea and forward Ndudi Ebi.
