A preliminary hearing for Hornets forward Miles Bridges, who is facing three felony domestic violence charges, has been rescheduled for a third time, writes Michael Gordon of The Charlotte Observer.
Bridges was initially scheduled to appear in court on August 19, but it was pushed back to September 7, then to September 16. A spokesman for the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office told Gordon that the new court date is set for September 29, which is after training camp begins.
The 24-year-old entered a plea of not guilty at his arraignment hearing in July. Bridges could face a maximum sentence of 11 years and eight months in prison if he’s convicted of all three domestic abuse charges.
Here’s more from the Southeast:
- Ashton Gibbs is joining the Hawks as an assistant coach, George Michalowski of Pittsburgh Sports Now reports. Gibbs told Michalowski that he’ll work with Atlanta and the College Park Skyhawks, the team’s G League affiliate. Gibbs played four years at Pitt from 2008-12, averaging 15.6 PPG over his final three seasons. He also made several international stops during his pro career, which ended in 2019, per Michalowski.
- With the caveat that something could happen in the next week, all the members of the Wizards‘ projected 15-man roster “appear on track” to be full participants during training camp, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic (Twitter link). Washington’s training camp starts on September 24, Robbins notes. Star guard Bradley Beal was limited to 40 games in 2021/22 due to a wrist injury that required surgery, and oft-injured big man Kristaps Porzingis also missed several games after he was acquired at the trade deadline.
- Khobi Price of The Orlando Sentinel lists three storylines to monitor regarding the Magic‘s guards. Price wonders whether Jalen Suggs can improve his shooting percentages after an injury-plagued rookie season saw him post a .361/.214/.773 slash line. His 21.4% three-point percentage ranked last out of 292 players who appeared in 20+ games and averaged at least two attempts per contest, Price notes. R.J. Hampton‘s role and the team’s backcourt rotation and starters are also worth keeping an eye on, Price writes.
Free my dude damnn
Best of luck Miles
bro he abused his wife multiple times in front of his children… but yeah fs free him
istg what’s wrong with people these days why can’t some people see what he did was terrible
Broo you’re a youngin so I’ll let it slide. Of course what he did was absolutely wrong. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve love, forgiveness or a second chance.
Best of luck Miles.
Bruh and if this were your mother or sister you’d feel different. Going to jail isn’t not forgiving, it’s him accepting what he did was wrong and that he deserves punishment for it. You’re talking about a free pass.
Multiple times show he was already given a second chance. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks
Best of luck to Miles? In his criminal abuse trial?
Its always a sign on maturity to support abusers in their criminal proceedings. Damn kids with their ethics and morals.
It is horrible, but it’s more complicated than that.
You have to consider the impact of the loss of generational wealth to his family and those within his sphere…that has a bigger and deeper impact on the lives and future of many.
Jailing him certainly provides victims legal justice, but it immediately changes their future (and generations to come) to something that’s probably for the worse.
I’m also not sure what does more damage to those children: to see their father behind bars or not at all over crucial years…or if a lesser (no-jail) punishment allows them to keep some form of father relationship which might make them better well-adjusted adults.
It’s an ugly and tough situation, but I’m not sure if jail is in best interest of kids and future generations.
Would he deserve a second chance if he were a plumber ?
Problem is he’s not a plumber.
What he did is horrible and unacceptable, but it’s more complicated than that.

Miles is trash for what he did
Good thing he doesn’t have Watson money or this would be swept under the rug and he’d already be back with the team
Yes because Watson beat the holy hell out of a woman in the presence of her child. You’re a clown dude.
who fumbled the bag worse, bridges or schroder??
If bridges actually gets locked up him by far. Though that’s highly unlikely so for now I’ll say Dennis turning down that laker deal
Schroder simply because he made a big (and obvious) miscalculation. Miles is just a POS, so I view it as less a mistake and more a personality defect.
