Within the next few weeks, the Charlotte Hornets will need to make a decision on what to do with restricted free agent Miles Bridges.
In late June, Bridges was arrested and charged for felony domestic violence in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department following the incident which occurred on June 28th. He was released on $130,000 bail less than 24 hours from the start of the NBA free agency period.
Prior to this, the Hornets submitted a qualifying offer to Bridges officially making him a restricted free agent. Shortly following the arrest, rumors floated around that the Hornets would withdraw their qualifying offer making him an unrestricted free agent, meaning that any team could sign him without giving the Hornets a chance to match an offer sheet.
