Hornets' Miles Bridges: Returning to action Friday

Bridges (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Bucks.

As expected, Bridges has been upgraded from probable to available and will snap a one-game absence. Before the ankle injury, Bridges had scored in double figures in nine straight games, averaging 18.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.7 minutes a night.
