In a city filled with thousands of people, two semi-old acquaintances found themselves in the same locale unexpectedly on Thursday night.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport suddenly morphed into Spectrum Center.
All thanks to a chance meeting between PJ Washington and Buzz Peterson, the Charlotte Hornets senior vice president of basketball operations/assistant general manager.
“Buzz ran into (Washington),” Hornets president of basketball operations/general manager Mitch Kupchak said Friday. “He was on his way to Dallas to check in for his physical. I think Buzz even said he got a little teary-eyed.”
That brief chat was the culmination of a long day loaded with activity.
