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.[3] Washington's brief NBA career consisted of 19 games; he played for the New Jersey Nets and the Los Angeles Clippers.[4]

In 1988, Washington was suspended for two years for violating the league's substance-abuse agreement by using cocaine.[4]

Washington also played professionally overseas with stints in France, Spain, Colombia, Venezuela, Israel and Germany.[2]

On September 19, 2012, Washington was charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing injury after allegedly hitting a 70-year-old woman with his car on September 18 and leaving the scene of the accident. The accident occurred along I-96 in Crockery Township, Michigan, near Spring Lake.[5] 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.[6]
