Duane Washington Jr waived by the Hornets, set to return to Partizan Belgrade
Partizan Belgrade awaits Duane Washington Jr. The player had returned to the United States of America to allow the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Hornets to complete the trade that brought All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns to the Big Apple. The forward - whose rights have been traded to Charlotte - also played two pre-season contests, scoring 12 points in 19 minutes. Washington, 79 games in two NBA years between the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns, will now return to Serbia where he had signed with Partizan Belgrade in the summer. The serbian club received a rich buyout for allowing Washington to leave for the NBA and complete the deal.
