According to TMZ Sports, Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was arrested on Wednesday in Los Angeles on charges of domestic violence.
A woman “required medical attention” after an argument with Bridges “became physical” on Tuesday, law enforcement sources told TMZ. According to TMZ, the Hornets veteran was gone when police arrived at the scene.
TMZ reported that the 24-year-old turned himself in to police and has since been released on $130,000 bail.
Bridges spent the first four years of his career with the Hornets after being drafted 12th overall in the 2018 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, who traded his drafting rights to Charlotte.
The Michigan State product had a breakthrough in the 2021-22 campaign, averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 80 games while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from deep lap.
The Hornets made Bridges a qualifying offer Wednesday, making him a restricted free agent this summer. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported earlier this week that Charlotte would not offer him a Max deal and he would look into getting a Max deal elsewhere when free agency opens on Thursday.
Bridges previously turned down a four-year, $60 million renewal offer from the Hornets last offseason.
