Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets

In an interview with DJ Akademiks, Renner spoke about the situation, refuting the rumors:

“That was his choice. I don’t have to leg-lock n—as… that child was planned. ... You asked me to move in with you. You wanted me to have your child at 22-years-old. And here we are. I told you, ‘I’m ok to wait. I’m not in a rush.'”

“You’re old enough to ride this ride. You want to f–k with me… so why are we babying men that are making a decision for themselves. I was on birth control up until I had a conversation with my baby father… I have no reason to lie about anything that I have done or the person that I am and I believe in full transparency.”

With the NBA season set to tip off in October, Washington is expected to be a big contributor to the Hornets.
