PJ Washington’s Dad Tells Fans to Just Relax over His Son’s Injury

Related Topics: Washington, The Athletic

If you pay attention to twitter as much as I do, you will notice a lot of negative tweets about the PJ Washington injury.

There are actually people out there that think Washington is not playing because he is “weak” or “soft” and if they were PJ they would play with a prosthetic if they had the chance to play in the NCAA Tournament.

Blah, blah, blah….

PJ Washington Sr. spoke with Kyle Tucker of The Athletic and basically told them to relax.

But Washington’s father has a message for the suck-it-up-and-play crowd that seems to believe his son — who came back for another year with the Wildcats when so few five-stars do, who turned himself into an All-American and his team into a national title contender during this sensational sophomore season — is choosing to protect his NBA Draft stock over playing with his teammates in the most important games of the season.
