In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks lost to the Wizards 107-117 and suffered two consecutive losses at the beginning of the season. After the game, team coach Kidd accepted an interview with the media.

Talking about PJ Washington, Kidd said: "I can't let him play 48 minutes. He played 40 minutes tonight. If we have to rely on him to play 48 minutes, then we will be exhausted before Christmas. We can't let him play 48 minutes. It is unfair to him. We are a deep team, and someone has to take over. Great. Do I want him to play more minutes? Of course, he has done everything for us now, from defense to support and shooting three-pointers. But 40 minutes was already a lot in the second game."

In this game, Washington played 39 minutes and 17 seconds, scoring 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 steals.
