The Charlotte Hornets and Phoenix Suns played an entertaining game on Sunday afternoon that ended with a Suns 101-97 overtime win, but plenty of fans came away from that game focusing on who didn’t score.
Hornets forward P.J. Washington is essentially mirroring his statistical output from his rookie season at 12.2 points per game. But on Sunday, he played an entire 44 minutes of basketball and didn’t score at all.
It wasn’t for a lack of opportunities either. Washington took seven shots and two free throws. And still, he put up zero points in FOURTY-FOUR MINUTES.
That exceeded the 28 scoreless minutes from the Tony Snell meme, so NBA fans understandably had jokes about that performance.

Despite the poor offensive showing, Washington did grab 12 boards and have a couple blocks. But still, that’s some solid cardio.
