The situation of Miles Bridges clears up a bit. After his white season following his trial and then his conviction for domestic violence, the winger was suspended for 30 games by the NBA for the next campaign.
Nevertheless, the league considers that his white season has already seen him serve 20 out of 30 games and Miles Bridges will therefore only miss the first 10 games of the 2023/24 season.
But who will he play with for his return? Obviously always for the Hornets, who have kept control of his future. However, according to ESPN, the two camps cannot agree on the amount of Miles Bridges’ new contract, and the latter will therefore sign the “qualifying offer” of 7.9 million dollars from Charlotte.
This offer, which the Hornets were to offer the winger to keep him free agent protected, is only valid for one year, and Miles Bridges will therefore be able to test the market in the summer of 2024. Without Charlotte being able to then match offers.
The “qualifying offer” also allows Miles Bridges to block any possible trade during the season…
