Jalen Washington - College Basketball News & Rumors

Starts at center in exhibition Washington started and had 17 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's exhibition win over Memphis.

Impact Washington got the start at center over Ven Allen Lubin and looked very impressive in 25 minutes of action. UNC certainly has a huge hole to fill this season with Armando Bacot no longer in the fold. Washington appears to running with the starting center role and gives the offense an added element being able to step out and knock down three-pointers. The Tar Heels begin the regular season on Nov. 4 against Elon.

Decent output in limited minutes Washington closed Saturday's 103-67 win over Syracuse with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 12 minutes.

Impact Washington scored in double figures just for the third time this season, but his contributions allowed the Tar Heels to complete a massive win over Syracuse -- one of their biggest victories of the entire campaign. Washington holds a lesser role off the bench for a very deep Tar Heels team, so he shouldn't be a factor in fantasy slates any time soon.

Five minutes in return Washington posted one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one assist across five minutes during Saturday's 80-69 victory over North Carolina State.

Impact Washington was back from a one-game absence forced by an ankle injury, and he ended up being quite limited in the matchup. This is typical on days when Armando Bacot is healthy and out of foul trouble -- a pattern that should continue for the remainder of the season.

Available Saturday Washington (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against NC State, Rivals.com reports.

Impact Washington twisted his ankle during pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Boston College, but he practiced Thursday and will be able to suit up against the Wolfpack. Over his eight appearances this year, he's averaged 4.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.

Sits out Tuesday Washington (ankle) did not appear in Tuesday's 72-64 win over Boston College, Michael Koh of WCHL & Chapelboro reports.

Impact Washington twisted his ankle during North Carolina's pre-game shootaround, and he was unable to play against Wake Forest. The 6-foot-10 freshman has appeared in eight games this season, logging four points and 1.9 rebounds on 8.1 minutes per game. Washington will look to return Saturday against NC State.

May not play Tuesday Washington is dealing with an sprained ankle and may not play in Tuesday's game against Boston College, InsideCarolina reports.

Impact Washington dealt with a knee injury earlier this season, but this does not seem to be related to that. The freshman is coming off his two best games of the season so it would hurt the Tar Heels if he's unable to go.

JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up with Bacot out Washington provided 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 65-58 loss to Virginia.

Impact Washington struggled with a knee injury early in his freshman season and missed the first nine games as a result. He was then limited to six minutes or less over his next seven games, sitting out two entirely. His number was called Tuesday, however, as star center Armando Bacot went down with an ankle injury after just one minute of play. While X-rays on Bacot's ankle came back negative, Washington still appears to be in line to serve as the primary center for as long as Bacot is sidelined, presumably starting with Saturday's matchup against Louisville.

Scores two points Washington (knee) finished Saturday's 75-59 victory over Georgia Tech with two points (1-1 FG) over two minutes.

Impact Washington logged his collegiate debut Saturday. Though he can play now, fantasy managers should not expect him being valued while the Tar Heels still have Armando Bacot. He is one of college basketball's best centers and a senior trying to maximize his final season.

Out for opener with knee injury Washington (knee) did not play in Monday's game against UNC-Wilmington.

Impact Washington was just cleared for five-on-five action last last week following a torn ACL. It may yet take some time before the team feels comfortable putting the big man out in real game speed. UNC will take on the College of Charleston on Friday next.

Impact Washington's status for the season opener Monday against UNC-Wilmington is uncertain as he is still working back from a torn ACL. The freshman big man is renowned for his shooting ability and will have a chance to make an impact off the bench for UNC this season. Washington's next opportunity to play will be next Friday versus the College of Charleston if he can't play Monday.

Improving quickly Head coach Hubert Davis said Washington (knee) is still doing limited 5-on-5 work, but he's improving "rapidly," Brendan Marks of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's too early to tell if Washington will be available for Nov. 7's regular-season opener, but it appears he's inching close to 100 percent following a torn ACL last year. When available, the freshman center figures to be one of the top backup big men behind superstar Armando Bacot.

Impact Washington is still recovering from a torn ACL. It appears the freshman is getting closer to returning, but it's unclear if that will come before the regular season opener on Nov. 7 against UNC-Wilmington. Coach Hubert Davis has praised his shooting ability in practice.
