P.J. Washington signed a four-year, near $90 million extension with Dallas, locking him into the Mavericks’ frontcourt through 2029-30. Last season he averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 45.3% shooting and 38.1% from three, delivering versatile scoring and defense amid the Doncic-era turbulence. Dallas envisions him beside Cooper Flagg, creating a stable core that also includes Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford, a favorable setup for fantasy managers seeking reliable multi-category production.

Washington’s deal signals a long-term plan: Washington provides floor spacing for Flagg’s development while the surrounding extensions lay a concrete pathway for a durable rotation. For fantasy rosters, the bet hinges on minutes allocation and usage stability; if Washington maintains his role, expect steady multi-plot value with upside as the lineup matures.
