Former Kentucky star and Charlotte Hornets rookie PJ Washington landed a solid contract as a lottery pick who finished 12th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. And that gave him a lot of money to spend. PJ Washington`s contract was recently scrutinized when rumors surfaced on social media that he would pay Instagram model Brittany Renner, the mother of his child, $200,000 a month for the next 18 years. However, these rumors appear to have been broken after the 22-year-old posted a quick response on Twitter. In 61 of the 64 regular season games he played in this year, the power forward averaged 12.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks. If he stays on track and improves his numbers at both ends of the field, Washington could consider a salary jump next summer if he is eligible for a rookie contract extension. Washington signed a four-year, $17.8 million contract under the NBA rookie ladder. And he`ll earn more than $3.8 million this year, his first year in the league, before his salary rises to more than $4 million next year. In 2019, when he entered the league, PJ Washington signed a four-year contract with the Charlotte Hornets. Last December, the club exercised its team option for its third year and will have the option to do so at the end of the 2021-22 season or offer him a contract extension. Otherwise, he will become a restricted free agent in 2023. PJ Washington signed a 4-year/$12,070,560 contract with the Charlotte Hornets, including $12,070,560 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $3,017,640.

In 2021-2022, Washington will earn a base salary of $4,215,120, while carrying a cap of $4,215,120 and a dead ceiling value of $4,215,120. Fortunately for everyone involved, money is not an issue. Washington was selected 12th overall by the Hornets in the 2019 NBA Draft. He signed a rookie contract on July 3, 2019. He earned $4,023,600 last season and will earn $4,215,120 in the upcoming 2021-2022 season.

In this article, we`ll break down PJ Washington`s current salary and his NBA contract. He has been an important part of a Charlotte Hornets team that has fascinating young pieces, starting 57 of the 58 games he played, averaging 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. His 3-point shooting, recorded in Kentucky, continued as he made 37.4% of his 3-point shots behind the NBA`s longest arc and made 1.5 outside shots per game.

They used their high draft picks to put young stars around the aforementioned ball, which was rookie of the year last season. PJ Washington is firmly in their collection of key players and has been a consistent starter during his two years in the league. First, Washington gave its financial breakdown: 20% of its income goes to an expense account, while 80% goes to a savings and investment account. Washington arrived in Kentucky as the No. 7 and No. 15 power forward overall in the 2017 247Sports Composite. And while he was good as a rookie, averaging 10.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, and finishing the season with 18 points and 15 rebounds in a Sweet 16 loss, there`s no doubt he improved his stock by returning to Lexington for his second year. Washington was among the best players in the country in the second half of the year; While he averaged 15.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game during the season, he averaged more than 16 points per game in the SEC game and made nearly 45 percent of his 3-point attempts. However, things got worse a few months later when Washington tweeted, “You can never build a kingdom with someone who always yearns for the attention of the village.” Then, last month, in a deleted tweet, he posted, “They pretended from the beginning.” At the end of July, Renner and Washington followed one another on Instagram.

Some people on social media suggest that Renner plays it like a violin from the beginning. Only both know the truth. This is a difficult situation, especially for the child. If the rumors are false, the separated couple still has to arrange alimony and custody. The Charlotte Hornets are certainly one of the Dark Horses of the Eastern Conference. Until injuries to LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward at the end of the season, the franchise was among the top six seeds and was on the verge of making its first postseason appearance since 2016. * Winnings may include deducting initial money earned due to the shortened season PJ Washington`s attorney, who told him he owed Brittany Renner $200,000 a month in child support pic.twitter.com/zdCGHQ9I8g According to HoopsHype, NBA star PJ Washington earns $4.2 million a year before taxes.
