PJ Washington told reporters that he is "sick and tired" of the "fire Nico" chants at Dallas Mavericks games.

A wave of silence typically covers American Airlines Center when a Dallas Mavericks player steps to the free-throw line. That wasn’t the case on several occasions Sunday afternoon during the Mavericks’ 130-125 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The past few months for the Dallas Mavericks and their fans have been a nightmare, as the team traded away Luka Doncic, one of the brightest young stars in the league, to the Los Angeles Lakers and then had Kyrie Irving go down with a season-ending knee injury.

PJ Washington is seemingly on track to return from injury for the Mavericks' game on Sunday against the 76ers.

Quentin Grimes scored 28 points in his first game against his former team and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Dallas Mavericks 130-125 in a matchup of injury-depleted clubs.

After a seven-game absence due to injury, Mavericks forward P.J. Washington shook off the rust and locked in, scoring 20 points in the first half of the game against the Philadelphia 76ers, including a white-hot first quarter where he scored 14 points on 5-for-6 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
