Washington missed both games last weekend with COVID, and forwards Duke Brennan and Alonzo Gaffney split the reps at forward in his absence. In the 70-62 overtime-win over Cal, Gaffney corralled 13 rebounds, while Duke Brennan scored 9 points in his first-career start.
Through 26 games, Washington is the team’s leading-rebounder (7.0 rebounds per-game), and leads the team in blocked-shots (1.9 per-game). His 8.6 points per-game is the sixth-best on the team.
His presence in the lineup would bring ASU back to full-strength in the season’s most critical point yet, as a home-loss this weekend could detrimentally hurt the Sun Devils’s chances at an NCAA Tournament bid.
