Former Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has received a 30-game suspension from the NBA following his involvement in an off-season domestic violence incident.
The 25-year-old forward's contract expired after the 2021-22 season and the Hornets decided to offer him a $7.9 million qualifying offer before the 2022-23 campaign. But both parties decided to step away while the legal proceeding ensued.
“Following his arrest and plea, Mr. Bridges did not sign an NBA contract for the 2022-23 season, missing all 82 games. In recognition of that outcome, the NBA has deemed 20 games of the suspension to have been already served. If Mr. Bridges signs an NBA contract, he will be required to miss the first 10 games for which he is otherwise eligible and able to play.”
Bridges played in a total of 80 games in the 2021-22 season for the Hornets where he averaged 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from three-point range. It is not clear whether the Hornets -- or any other team -- will look to extend Bridges a deal following this announcement.
