Miles Bridges Returns to Hornets Amid Pending Court Case

Bridges' return expected to boost Hornets' performance in NBA in-season tournament game against Bucks

Miles Bridges is set to return to the Charlotte Hornets for the first time in 583 days, following a year-long suspension and a 10-game ban this season due to a domestic violence case.
Bridges' return comes amid a pending court date in February 2024 for allegedly violating a protection order related to the domestic violence incident.
The Hornets have expressed comfort with Bridges' return based on their understanding of the recent allegations, and will remain in contact with the NBA as the case proceeds.
Bridges, considered one of the team's best players, is expected to provide a significant boost for the Hornets, who went 3-7 in his absence at the start of the season.
Bridges' return coincides with the Hornets' game against the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the NBA in-season tournament, with both teams in East Group B.
