P.J. Hairston suffers shoulder injury in Orlando NBA Summer League

Posted Jul 8, 2015
P.J. Hairston’s NBA summer league is likely over. The former North Carolina star, who plays for the Charlotte Hornets, left Tuesday’s game in Orlando with an injury to his left shoulder. Because he is already a member of the team’s roster and has an unguaranteed contract, he’ll likely be shut down for the remainder of the week-long tournament than risk further injury.
