Miles Bridges Eligible To Return Friday
5 months agoCharlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (suspension) is eligible to return to the team's active roster for Friday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Bridges has fulfilled his 30-game suspension due to assault charges from the summer of 2022, which caused him to ultimately miss the entire 2022-23 season and the first 10 games of 2023-24. The Hornets are "comfortable with Miles returning to play", and he is set to be reinstated for Friday's In-Season Tournament matchup. Bridges isn't completely out of the woods yet, however, as he was issued a criminal summons on Oct. 11 before surrendering two days later. Charlotte references these "recent allegations" in their statement, but a "significant role", per head coach Steve Clifford, is on tap for the 25-year-old as the legal process plays out. Bridges was a fourth-round fantasy asset when we last saw him in 2021-22, averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 35.5 minutes over 80 games.
