HOUSTON – The injury bug bit the Dallas Mavericks – again – on Wednesday night.
This time it was forward P. J. Washington who fell victim to an injury as he suffered a right knee sprain in the first half of the game against the Houston Rockets and did not return. Washington’s injury was part of what ailed the Mavs during their 110-99 loss to the Rockets at the Toyota Center.
It was the fourth loss in the past five games for the Mavs, who finished this week-long road trip with a 1-3 record and will take their 20-14 overall worksheet into Friday’s home game against the high-flying Cleveland Cavaliers.
