In the aftermath of a 10-game suspension due to his involvement in a 2022 felony domestic violence case, Hornets’ Forward Miles Bridges is set to reclaim his spot on the team. Coach Steve Clifford confirmed that Bridges will return to a “significant role” once he is eligible to play this week.
The Key Takeaways:

- Coach Steve Clifford acknowledged Bridges’ readiness to return, noting his hard work and good shape, despite the team’s ongoing challenges on defense.
- Bridges is scheduled to appear in court on February 20th in connection to violating a protective order, misdemeanor child abuse, and damages to personal property.
