PJ Hairston never had a squeaky clean record, but Sunday’s alleged fisticuffs with a high school student is not a good look. Β You heard about it on the news at ten: the scuffle went down at a Durham YMCA after a game of pick-up basketball. Β Police say there was shoving and punching on both sides.Β Β
Next month, Hairston will be spending time in court instead of on one. Β The NBA’s 26th draft pick now faces assault charges. Β No word what sort of punishment, if any, the Hornets will lay down for the 21-year-old, but we’re guessing MJ isn’t thrilled. Β Former Hornet Brendan Haywood gave us his take:
“They took him in the first round, he’s definitely gonna get another shot. It’s all about basketball at the end of the day, and they’re gonna want him to be a big part of the team. He has the opportunity to do something special. I think they’ll give him another opportunity for sure.”
Haywood thinks the Hornets hold tight… but what do you think? Β Should the Hornets kick him to the curb, or hope he shapes up?! Β
