Charlotte Hornets rookie P.J. Hairston got into an altercation Sunday with a high school basketball player in Durham, his agent confirmed to the Observer.
Juan Morrow, who represents the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Hairston, said his client was playing in a pickup basketball game when tempers flared.
“The other guy pushed (Hairston), and he pushed back. Both shoved each other,” Morrow said in a telephone interview.
At that point the altercation escalated into punches, the agent said.
“He swung at P.J., and P.J. swung back,” Morrow said, adding “both connected.”
Morrow said police were never called in reaction to the incident. A Durham police spokesman said she was unaware of any incident Sunday involving Hairston.

PJ needs to talk to a veteran about staying out of trouble and getting his priorities in order.
1. You are now a professional NBA player making a ton of cash. No need to waste time with little things that can get you in a lot of trouble.
2. High school kid pushing a 6'6" 230 lbs guy has got a lot of balls or is a swole brother.
3. Why is Hairston wasting time playing pick-up ball with high school kids while Julius Randle is out getting STDs with grown up LA 'hos?
