As a youngster, P.J. Washington was taught to always tell the truth.
So when he was asked about what he remembered about the Mavericks’ first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers in 2020 and 2021, he was blunt.
“I’m going to be honest with you, I didn’t really watch a lot of playoff basketball because I wasn’t participating,” he said. “I’m kind of (ticked) off about that, but I’m here now, so it’s all good.”
Washington will make his first playoff appearance in Game 1 on Sunday when the first round begins for the Mavericks against the Los Angeles Clippers.
