Hornets Secure P.J. Washington with Lucrative 3-Year Deal

The Charlotte Hornets have reportedly signed forward P.J. Washington to a three-year, $48 million contract. Washington, the No. 12 pick in the 2019 NBA draft, had a career-high season in 2022 and was a restricted free agent. His return clears up some of the team's offseason uncertainties, as they look to make the playoffs for the first time since 2015 under new ownership and head coach Steve Clifford.
