Discussions between Miles Bridges and the Hornets on a new contract have reportedly progressed, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Bridges, a restricted free agent, is still reportedly being investigated by the NBA for the domestic violence case that occurred during the offseason. According to Wojnarowski, if Bridges and the Hornets can reach a deal quickly, he can begin any potential suspension sooner.
The length of any suspension is still unknown, if that is the punishment he is dealt.
In November, Bridges avoided jail time after he pleaded no contest to the felony domestic violence charge and received three years of probation as part of the agreement with prosecutors.
