Charlotte return an emotional event for Mavericks’ PJ Washington. ‘It’s a little weird’

Knowing there was plenty of time before the main event, only one destination was on PJ Washington’s mind when the Dallas Mavericks chartered flight touched down at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

And no, it wasn’t Bojangles or any other eatery.

“I went straight home, got to see my kids, got to see the family,” Washington said following the Mavs’ shootaround before Tuesday night’s game against the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center. “It was great being in the home setting, just having a good night at home.”

That hasn’t been the case since Feb.
