Hornets' Miles Bridges: Arrested for domestic violence
Rotowire
Bridges was arrested Wednesday for felony domestic violence, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports. The Hornets released a statement noting that the organization is aware of the situation and is gathering additional information.
Given the seriousness of the situation, it's possible that Bridges -- a restricted free agent -- could miss time next season. Even if he doesn't have to sit out due to legal ramifications, the league office could issue a suspension. Either way, the arrest could significantly impact teams' level of interest in Bridges in free agency.
Bridges was ejected during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
With the Hornets trailing by nearly 30 points late in the fourth quarter, Bridges argued a goaltending call, received a technical foul and was subsequently ejected. He finished the game with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes of action.
