Hornets' Miles Bridges: Double-doubles in loss
Bridges posted 23 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 loss to Orlando.
Bridges has fared well since returning to the lineup for Charlotte. In five total appearances, he's averaging 21.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. He's posting third-round value in nine-category leagues in that span, and the Hornets may need him to soak up even more usage if LaMelo Ball misses time with his ankle injury.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Posts another double-double
Bridges contributed 33 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 victory over the Wizards.
Bridges was eased into action as a reserve over his first two appearances of the season, but he's started in the last two matchups and has posted back-to-back double-doubles. He's now averaging 20.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.8 minutes per game this year.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Double-doubles in start
Bridges had 14 points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 45 minutes during Monday's 121-118 overtime win over the Celtics.
Bridges moved into the starting lineup Monday, ending with his first double-double of the season. Despite having played only two games this season, Bridges was handed the opening spot he occupied in 2021-22. Poor shooting aside, it was another productive night, continuing his rapid start. Given his presumed role moving forward, there is no way Bridges should be available in any leagues right now.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Will start Monday
Bridges will start Monday's matchup against the Celtics.
Bridges made his season debut Nov. 17 following a 10-game suspension due to a domestic violence incident. He came off the bench in his first two appearances of the year but played starter-level minutes, averaging 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed his starting spot over P.J. Washington, though the move shouldn't significantly impact Bridges' playing time.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Drops 17 in season debut
Bridges amassed 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes off the bench during Friday's 130-99 loss to the Bucks.
With his suspension over, Bridges saw his first regular-season action since April 2021 and made his season debut for the Hornets on the second unit. He saw a full workload though, and the 25-year-old forward was the team's second-leading scorer behind LaMelo Ball (37 points). P.J. Washington has been erratic lately as Charlotte's starting power forward -- over the last 10 days, he's erupted for 32 points against the Heat on Tuesday but scored a total of just 32 points in his other four games combined on 29.7 percent field-goal shooting -- while Gordon Hayward has had his usual trouble staying healthy and effective. 2023 second overall pick Brandon Miller has been pushing for a bigger role, so with Bridges back in the mix as well, there could be big changes coming in the frontcourt for the 3-8 Hornets.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Slated to come off bench Friday
Bridges won't start Friday's game against the Bucks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Bridges, who sat out the entire 2022-23 campaign and the first 10 games of this season due to a domestic violence case, is cleared to suit up for the first time since 2021-22. He started all 80 of his appearances in 2021-22, averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 made three-pointers and 1.7 steals-plus blocks in 35.5 minutes per game, but it looks like he'll be eased back into the rotation as a sixth man. Coach Steve Clifford previously said Bridges would play a significant role, so a move into the starting lineup could happen eventually. With that said, Bridges still has a court date Feb. 20 for allegedly violating a protection order related to the domestic violence incident that caused his hiatus from the NBA, so further discipline could come later in the campaign.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Set to return Friday
Bridges is eligible to return to the Hornets' active roster for Friday's contest versus the Bucks with his 30-game suspension completed, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Bridges sat out the entire 2022-23 campaign and the first 10 games of this season due to a domestic violence case. While Bridges still has a court date coming up Feb. 20 for allegedly violating a protection order related to the domestic violence incident that occurred more than 16 months ago, head coach Steve Clifford has already said that he envisions the 25-year-old forward filling a significant role for the Hornets now that he's eligible to play again for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Bridges started in all 80 of his appearances that season and averaged career highs across the board (20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 35.5 minutes), but he could be eased back into the mix as the Hornets' sixth man Friday.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Will play 'significant role'
Hornets head coach Steve Clifford said Sunday that he expects Bridges (suspension) to play a "significant role right away" when he's first eligible to make his season debut Friday versus the Bucks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Bridges will sit out Sunday against the Knicks and Tuesday against the Heat as he wraps up the final two games of the 30-game suspension he received in April for his role in a 2022 felony domestic violence case involving the mother of his two children. Since Bridges sat out the entire 2022-23 campaign, 20 games of his suspension were considered served, resulting in him missing the first 10 contests of 2023-24. Before he returns from his suspension, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports that Bridges will appear at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse on Monday for a hearing on a criminal summons issued last month for violating a domestic violence protective order, misdemeanor child abuse and injury to personal property. Both the Hornets and NBA acknowledged they were gathering information related to the Oct. 6 incident in question, but in the meantime, Bridges has been regularly practicing with the team in preparation to play when first eligible. Given that Bridges averaged 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 35.5 minutes per game over 80 appearances in his last NBA action in 2021-22, his upcoming addition should provide a major on-court boost to the Hornets, regardless of whether he's deployed as a starter or sixth man.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Issued criminal summons
A criminal summons was issued Wednesday for Bridges (suspension) for violating a domestic violence protective order, misdemeanor child abuse and injury to personal property, Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com reports.
According to the copy of the summons that Holmes obtained, the incident in question occurred Oct. 6, when Bridges is alleged to have thrown billiard balls at his former girlfriend's vehicle while their two children were inside, causing damage to the windshield and leaving dents in the car. A hearing pertaining to the matter is scheduled for Nov. 13, four days before Bridges would be eligible to make his 2023-24 debut after he serves the final 10 games of a 30-game suspension he received from the NBA following him pleading no contest last November to a felony domestic violence charge stemming from a June 2022 arrest. Bridges, who sat out the entire 2022-23 season, became a restricted free agent this summer and accepted a $7.9 million qualifying offer to stay with the Hornets. Per the terms of his suspension, Bridges is unable to play in preseason games, and in light of the criminal summons, he may not be available for the Hornets after the final game of the suspension is served Nov. 14.
