Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges and general manager Mitch Kupchak addressed the media after Bridges signed his qualifying offer to remain with the Hornets. It is the first time Bridges has spoken to the media since his arrest for domestic violence last year and pretty much the first time Mitch Kupchak has talked about the decision to re-sign him.
Bridges started with a statement:
It’s almost verbatim from a statement he released when the team announced the signing a couple weeks back. That statement read:
I sincerely apologize for the pain, embarrassment and disappointment that last year’s incident caused so many people.
