Charlotte Hornets general manager Rich Cho said the team’s decision not to pick up P.J. Hairston’s option for next season related to consistency and focus. The Hornets had until midnight Monday to exercise a $1.25 million option for the 2016-17 season under Hairston’s rookie-scale contract.

“I spoke with P.J. and his agent. We just feel like P.J. has got to get more consistent and focused on and off the court,” Cho said Tuesday. “He knows what he has to do. P.J. has still got a bright future if he continues to work hard.”
