6686 Sports, October 25th The NBA regular season continued today, and the Mavericks lost to the Wizards 107-117.
In this game, Mavericks player PJ Washington played 40 minutes, scoring 18 points on 8 of 14 shots, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 assists and 1 block. However, he also made 8 mistakes. After the game, coach Kidd talked about Washington's playing time.
Kidd said: "I can't let him play 48 minutes. He played 40 minutes this time. If he continues like this, he will be 'tired' before Christmas. We can't let him play 48 minutes, which is unfair to him. We are a team with enough depth in the lineup, and someone has to step up and take over the responsibility. I don't want to let him play 48 minutes." How many more minutes does he want to play? He does everything for us, from guarding to organizing offense to shooting three-pointers. He is performing at a very high level for the team, but 40 minutes is already a lot in the second game, and he has to face the opponent's top scorer every night."
