Four and a half months ago, when he was about to break the bank at the free agency, Miles Bridges was accused by his former girlfriend of domestic violence and child abuse.
Since then, released on bail and then passed before a judge, the 24-year-old player has obviously been discreet, despite everything managing to avoid prison, thanks to a sentence negotiation due to a non-contestation agreement. Clearly: he accepted the sanctions imposed on him, without however acknowledging his guilt in this case.
About the qualifying offer which Miles Bridges had at the Hornetsit expired last month, but there are still free agent protected, if he were to resume his career. Suffice to say that this contractual situation is rather complex and unprecedented, because Charlotte retains control of the file, but will still have to rule on it, by re-signing it or by not aligning herself with any external offer… if indeed there is one.
Except that the next few days may be in danger of unlocking everything, because The Athletic reported overnight that franchises, including the Lakers and the Pistonswould closely monitor the 12th choice of the 2018 Draft. Before his legal disputes, remember that the winger was coming off his best season in the NBA, with 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists on average in 2021/22.
It remains to be seen what the Hornets intend to do, but also the NBA, which could suspend Miles Bridges if he returns.
As for the person concerned, the conflict with his former companion is clearly not settled, since it is this time the basketball player who obtained a “protection order” against her, Miles Bridges accusing him of harassment… following three “visits” from Mychelle Johnson at his home.
