Craig’s wife, Lindsay Czarniak, posted to Instagram on Wednesday.
“Had a whirlwind but really fun date night last night in Charlotte at the HoopTee charities Legends dinner,” she captioned the post.
In the photo, she and Craig were dressed to the nines as they posed on the carpet.
Lindsay wore a black spaghetti-strap, low-cut, floor-length dress.
Craig rocked a gray suit with a white shirt and a yellow dotted tie.
“The work Hornets Pres/owner Fred Whitfield does to give underserved kids academic and athletic opportunities is incredible,” Lindsay continued.
“Loved meeting NBA legends and seeing old friends including NASCAR driver @tyler_reddick who won his first race of the season for 23X1 racing this weekend and had a chance to celebrate with and teammates once again. #hoops #hooptees #nba #nascar #basketball #datenight #giveback.”
She then had photos with Tyler Reddick and his wife, Alexa DeLeon.
The other photos featured other NBA legends being interviewed for the event.
