Charlotte Hornets reach agreement with key free agent PJ Washington

PJ Washington agreed to terms on a new deal with the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.

Washington and the Hornets agreed to a three-year deal worth up to $48 million, his agents Paul Washington Sr. of Washington Sports Group and Kevin Bradbury of Lift Sports Agency told The Observer.

Talks were stagnant for the majority of the past month-plus, per sources, and this recently picked up over the days leading up to them finally coming to terms more than a week after the 2023-24 schedule was released.

Washington is a key piece of the Hornets’ core and posted his best season as a pro in 2022-23 after starting all 73 games he appeared in.
