P.J. Washington Stats

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington wants to remain with the team. The 24-year-old rejected a rookie extension in October, so he'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, giving Charlotte the right to match any offers from clubs around the league. The Hornets will likely do what it takes to keep Washington on the roster, considering he finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 73 games. His versatility allows him to play multiple positions, a plus for fantasy managers. However, his shooting percentages have decreased over the years, which could negatively impact his stock in category formats.

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Although, the 24-year-old said his preference would be to stay in Charlotte. Washington might be looking at a nice contract this offseason after the season he put together. He averaged a career-high 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in a career-most 73 games. He missed the final few games of the season due to injury, but was consistent outside of that. Washington averaged 32.6 minutes per game this season, so it won't be easy to replace that if he ends up leaving. However, it sounds like the young forward wants to remain with the team and help build a contender.

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't suit up on Tuesday against Toronto. The 24-year-old tweaked his ankle in Friday's meeting with Chicago and didn't play on Sunday in the first of back-to-back games against the Raptors. JT Thor took his spot in the starting lineup for that one, although he finished with only eight points and two rebounds. On the other hand, Kai Jones had 10 points, five boards, three blocks, and a steal, so he should remain the more enticing DFS option, even if he continues to operate from off the bench.

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. The 24-year-old sprained his right ankle during Friday's game versus the Bulls. However, it appears he is trending in the wrong direction, so it's likely he won't be out there. If that's the case, JT Thor, who had 10 points and three rebounds against Chicago, may enter the starting lineup.
