Charlotte Hornets striker Miles Bridges was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday for a family crime, according to TMZ Sports. A woman “needed medical attention” after a dispute with Bridges that “became physical” on Tuesday, law enforcement sources told TMZ. According to TMZ, when police arrived at the scene, the Hornets veteran was no longer there. TMZ reported that the 24-year-old was handed over to the police and has since been released on $ 130,000 bail. Bridges spent the first four years of his career with the Hornets after being selected 12th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, who traded their rights to the draft in Charlotte. The Michigan State product had a 2021-22 campaign, averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 80 games, shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from deep. The Hornets extended a qualifying offer to the Bridges on Wednesday, making him a free agent this summer. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said earlier this week that Charlotte would not offer him a maximum deal and would look to see if he could get a maximum contract elsewhere when the free agency opened on Thursday. The Bridges have previously turned down a four-year $ 60 million expansion offer from the Hornets last off-season.
