Monday was media day around the NBA, which meant that players around the league spoke with reporters as the season tips off in a few weeks. Miles Bridges, of course, was absent in Charlotte.
Bridges, who led the Hornets in scoring last season, was charged in June with three counts of felony domestic violence after the 24-year-old allegedly assaulted the mother of his two young children in front of them. He has pleaded not guilty and has a court date on Thursday.
Though the 6-foot-7 forward’s future is uncertain, at least one of his teammates hopes to see him back in a Hornets uniform soon.
