Miles Bridges returns to Charlotte Hornets after domestic violence investigation



Miles Bridges is returning to the Charlotte Hornets on a one-year contract for the 2023-24 NBA season.

Bridges missed all of last season after he was charged with domestic violence in July 2022. He pleaded no contest last November and is serving three years of probation. The NBA gave Bridges a 30-game suspension earlier this offseason, but added that because Bridges missed the entirety of last season that 20 of those games are considered already served.

He will miss the first 10 games of this season.

Charlotte Hornets president of basketball operations and general manager Mitch Kupchak said they took a “measured and serious approach” in making the decision.

By signing the qualifying offer, the 25-year-old Bridges becomes eligible to become an unrestricted free agent after next season. The Hornets recently selected Brandon Miller from Alabama with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft and he plays the same position as Bridges.

  1. He made a mistake, as well as his ex girlfriend. He's apologized missed a year of basketball and salary, so who am I to continue to judge him
