Miles Bridges, who is set to hit restricted free agency after the Hornets tendered him a qualifying offer, was arrested on felony domestic violence charges in Los Angeles on Wednesday, according to TMZ Sports.
Bridges was allegedly involved in an argument with a woman that turned into a physical altercation, per TMZ. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the woman needed medical attention after they arrived at the scene.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, with Bridges initially leaving the scene and later turning himself into the police on Wednesday, at which point he was arrested. His bail was set at $130K and he has since been released, TMZ reports.
First and foremost, hopefully the alleged victim is okay and didn’t sustain any serious injuries.
It’s unclear if Bridges’ legal status will impact his upcoming contract situation, but obviously the allegations and charges are quite serious. Certainly, teams that may have been mulling a large offer sheet will think twice about doing so in light of his alleged behavior.
Bridges, 24, was expected to land one of the biggest paydays in free agency after a breakout fourth season saw him average career-highs in several categories, including points (20.2), rebounds (7.0) and assists (3.8). He appeared in 80 games (35.5 minutes per night) last season, all starts.
well that might not be good
How much money did he cost himself?
Knowing the fact they are never held accountable probably maybe a couple million tops. Winning before morals
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!
12-15 million. Went from maybe 5/125 to 5/110. Maybe even cost more because the last year went from guaranteed to team option.
Charlotte doesn’t want to offer him a max, I think. That was even before this. I believe they only would’ve if Detroit went max.
Now?
I think he cost himself significantly more. If Detroit bows out -which I think they will- he may be left with what Charlotte offers. And if they were hesitant to go max prior, that number goes way down.
Typicallll. What an idiot, but not surprising at all. So close to a huge pay day to. Hope he gets banned
????
What are you confused about?
Hope he gets banned? The NBA isn’t a sports chat.
Typical? Why? Cause he’s black?
What’s race got to do with it?
Smh gotta be above that man
(in that annoying female tiki tok voice) Show me you’re an idiot without saying it.
One thing to be a woman beater “allegedly”. Its another to be so stupid that you would allow yourself to get into ANY type of negative press while days away from a 100+ million dollar deal. Something is definately wrong with this guy.
Allegedly? He was arrested. It seems they had sufficient evidence.
Arrested does not equal guilty in this country comrade.
And guilty doesn’t mean they didn’t. About 10% of convictions are found wrongful. And that’s so far
Still going to Detroit?
Damn brotha couldn’t wait a couple notha days?
Yea I bet you homie heard that f what he was gonna get for an offer, celebrated early, got drunk, then got into a fight with his girl
Brinks truck stopped beepin
Really this guy should have learned to just sit home for a week come on use your head
How do you know he wasn’t home?
Sounds like somebody heard Pistons aren’t offering, and no Santa Max is coming.
He can’t be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Just walk away man
Same thing happened with Aroldis Chapman. Yankees swooped in and got him on a cheap a few months later. Then traded him for a Haul of prospects and resigned him again later)
Yankees of NBA is LA?
No, Lakers are Dodgers of the NBA, Brooklyn would be the equivalent of the Mets in the NBA
Mets actually won something))
Dodgers didn’t win enough to compare to LAL
Lakers are the Angels of NBA cause they spend money but they have no idea what they are doing. Warriors would be the Dodgers or Astros.
@reflect
you must be 12. Lakers have a much greater history in general and much longer winning history. gotta say Dodgers. 7x isn’t that amazing (including Brooklyn) vs GSW 4 and Angels 1.
We aren’t talking about history though. The sentence was written in present tense. The current Lakers aren’t in the same universe as the Dodgers, Astros, or Yankees.
Celtics would equal Yankees of the NBA.
Lakers = Dodgers most 2nd place finishes.
Brooklyn would be the equivalent of the Padres. A perennially mediocre franchise that just spent a lot of money to get better on paper. But they still don’t know how to WIN.
Nba will just ignore and forgive. Water under the bridges
And people thought that the LEAN picture on Instagram was bad…
When keeping it real goes wrong.
What a complete nitwit. He’s just ruined his life and that of his family. He’s just cost himself generational wealth. And no decent team would go near him now. This is just after his recent drug episode. It’s also disrespectful to other players who always do the right thing but will never get the chance of the big payday
What a disgrace of a man!
Nothing is lower than hitting a woman!
He can be friends with Johnny wife beater Depp, right?
I hope he gets a lengthy suspension.
Typical….so quick to judge when we don’t know the full details yet Kobe and D. Rose are venerated by the NBA and the majority of fans.
Kobe was guilty
Kobe was innocent. The girl that accused him also tried the same thing on other celebrities. Her friend snitched her out
Normally I agree with this view, but Miles Bridges has the full details, and he turned himself in. That means he already knows he did something bad.
Well his wife showed plenty of details today on her Instagram page. Miles Bridges is scum and he deserves to go to jail.
So many virtue signallers on here, smh.
Sounds serious…the Cleveland Browns will pick him up!!
Bridges Over Troubled Waters
Awful situation. She’ll never be the same after that beating. It’s hard to see him avoiding jail time even with an anger management program. He probably will have to accept the QO as a placeholder. The Hornets would retain his rights without having to pay him while he’s suspended, then possibly work out a sign and trade for next season, assuming his jail time doesn’t extend that far.
…but I would be surprised if he actually does time, even though if the allegations are true he deserves to. Money buys good lawyers.
Better get on the phone and accept that QO asap
“the woman needed medical attention after they arrived at the scene” is concerning, this is not just a quarrel…
Money does not cure stupidity.
Charlotte should take a long pause before offering this guy anything near a max deal. Days from what could be the biggest payday of his life and he does this? If you can’t count on a guy when he personally has everything to gain, then how can you moving forward when he’s locked in and simply has to show up?
