Professional career

Washington was chosen in the second round of the 1987 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets. The Bullets selected him with the 36th overall pick in the draft. Washington's brief NBA career consisted of 19 games; he played for the New Jersey Nets and the Los Angeles Clippers.

In 1988, Washington was suspended for two years for violating the league's substance-abuse agreement by using cocaine.

On September 19, 2012, Washington was charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing injury, after hitting a 70-year-old woman with his car on September 18, then leaving. The accident occurred along I-96 in Crockery Township, Michigan, near Spring Lake. In July 2013, Washington was sentenced to sixty days in jail. He was also placed under probation for eighteen months and ordered to perform community service.

Personal life

Washington is the older brother of basketball coach and former player Derek Fisher and the father of professional basketball player Duane Washington Jr.
