Misses game with ankle sprain Washington wasn't available Sunday for the Bucks' 128-119 win over the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact One of Milwaukee's three two-way players, Washington has seen most of his playing time in the G League this season and wasn't in line to be a part of the Bucks' rotation Sunday even if he hadn't been nursing an injury. If Washington is quickly able to overcome the ankle injury, he could join the Wisconsin Herd for the 2023 G League Winter Showcase in Orlando during the upcoming week.

Impact Washington was the 29th overall pick by the Rockets in 2022, so it's surprising to see Houston move on from his so soon. As a rookie, he averaged 4.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 14.0 minutes across 31 games.

Back to NBA Houston recalled Washington from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Washington may see some action as a reserve during Monday's contest against the Warriors, as Houston could elect to rest a few players for the second half of a back-to-back. However, the rookie point guard has appeared in just four March contests, totaling five points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to G League The Rockets assigned Washington to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Thursday, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Washington is averaging 4.6 points, 1.6 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 13.8 minutes across 30 games for the Rockets this season. However, he should see extended opportunities in the G League.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to NBA Houston recalled Washington from the League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Washington fell out of the rotation with Kevin Porter and Jalen Green healthy and was sent to the G League. However, Porter is back on the injury report again with a thigh issue, so Washington has been recalled and will serve as a depth option if Porter is ultimately sidelined.

Good to go Saturday Washington (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Washington exited Wednesday's game with a migraine after playing just five minutes and was initially tabbed questionable for Saturday's tilt with an illness. However, he will suit up for the contest and is expected to reclaim his backup point guard role.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Washington is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to an illness.

Impact Washington left Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a migraine but is now listed as questionable with an illness. Daishen Nix and Josh Christopher will likely see extended minutes if the rookie guard is ruled out.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Wednesday Washington has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a migraine, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact Washington will finish Wednesday's contest scoreless (0-5 FG, 0-4 3PT) with one rebound over five minutes of action. Daishen Nix and Josh Christopher may see a few extra minutes with Washington sidelined. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Washington will move to the bench Tuesday against Denver, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Rockets are going to mix things up with Jalen Green back in the lineup from injury, as Daishen Nix will start in the backcourt. The Rockets are still pretty short on guards, so Washington could play a prominent role.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Barely cracks double figures Washington racked up 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Washington drew a second straight start in Jalen Green's (groin) absence and submitted another quality performance. He's totaled 25 points, seven assists, six rebounds and three steals over those two games, but he's gone 8-for-22 from the field and 5-for-13 from deep. Despite the inefficient shooting, Washington has been a solid streaming option for anyone who opted to scoop him up following Green's injury, and those fantasy managers should continue to leave Washington in their lineups until Green is cleared to return.

Rockets' TyTy Washington Jr. reacts to first career start in the NBA Washington called it a dream come true to earn his first career start on the road versus the Warriors.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • USATODAY.COM

Logs career-high 34 minutes Washington posted 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Golden State.

Impact Washington got the first start of his career Friday, delivering a relatively strong fantasy line. With the Rockets running a very thin backcourt, Washington is finally getting the run many have been hoping for. While it is unlikely to stick ROS, he is a name to at least watch for the next week or two. Should he see upward of 30 minutes again Sunday, those in deeper formats could consider taking a flier on the promising young rookie.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves into starting lineup Washington will start against the Warriors on Friday according to Coty M. Davis of SI.com.

Impact This will be the first career start for the rookie point guard. Washington will have a lot of opportunities to run the show as the Rockets are missing both Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. due to injuries. According to coach Stephen Silas, there's a small chance either of those two return Sunday against the Blazers.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sees dramatic uptick in minutes Washington chipped in 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 153-121 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Washington tallied 25 minutes Saturday evening after logging only two minutes Friday against Toronto. The Rockets opted to rest Eric Gordon, so that was a contributing factor to the jump in minutes. Washington didn't disappoint, erupting for a season-high 20 points while also tallying his first block of the season. The Rockets have yet to use Washington to this extent on a regular basis, though he'll be a player to watch closely in case the team elects to see what the young talent on the roster can do down the stretch of the regular season.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Only two minutes Friday Washington contributed zero points (0-1 FG) across two minutes during Friday's 117-111 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Despite both Jalen Green (calf) and Kevin Porter (foot/toe) being sidelined, Washington remains on the outside looking in when it comes to playing time. While he has arguably the most upside of any of the Rockets' fringe guards, Washington just cannot get a look. Head coach Stephen Silas is not known for making logical decisions, and this falls right into that basket. The hope is that Washington's role will expand down the stretch, although confidence is low given Silas' track record.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 points in 29 minutes Washington ended with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 113-95 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Washington scored in double digits for just the second time in his career, logging a career-high 29 minutes in the loss. There is a certain amount of upside attached to Washington but to this point, he has been underutilized by coach Stephen Silas. There is no need to rush to add him based on this performance, though he is someone to keep an eye on as the silly season approaches.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League The Rockets recalled Washington for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Saturday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Impact With Kevin Porter (foot) uncertain to play Sunday against the Clippers and Jalen Green facing a possible suspension after leaving the bench during an altercation that occurred in Friday's loss to the Kings, the Rockets will bring Washington aboard to restore some depth in the backcourt. Washington, who erupted for 53 points, 10 rebounds and four assists Friday in the Vipers' 134-113 loss to the Stockton Kings, could be asked to play significant minutes Sunday if both Porter and Green aren't available.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs career-high 20 minutes Washington supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Washington played as the primary backup behind Kevin Porter, usurping Daishen Nix in the rotation. Managers have been calling for Washington to play more minutes since Opening Night, and while this is still only deep-league relevant, it is certainly a step in the right direction. Managers in deeper formats should keep an eye on things in Houston, just in case Washington can carve out a regular 20-minute role.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Decent all-around production Washington produced six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Washington did his job off the bench in this one and has now handled playing time in each of his last two contests since being recalled from the G League. He managed to make an impact across the board and also recorded his first steal of the season. Washington will likely struggle to see consistent minutes going forward, however, as he's sitting behind Kevin Porter, Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and Jalen Green on the depth chart.
