NBA star suspended for 30 games

He was one of the best players in the league. He pulls off a multi-million dollar contract. Then Miles Bridges got into a violent fight with his girlfriend – jeopardizing his future in the NBA.

Although Bridges escaped prison last November, he has been without a contract since the summer of 2022. The former Charlotte Hornets player, who still owns the NBA rights to him, has been suspended by the NBA for 30 games. But because Bridges has already been completely suspended for the current season, he already has 20 games scheduled for him. Bridges would “only” have to see the first ten games of the new season.

100 hours of community service instead of a $20 million contract

In July 2022, Bridges was arrested by police for beating the mother of his two children. The Hornets striker was playing his best season at the moment and with his contract expiring, the big payday beckoned. The media talked about a salary of 20 million.

But the domestic violence trial and the dismissal of two child molestation charges changed everything. No one wanted to sign the attacker in form. In November 2022, the Public Prosecution Service sentenced him to, among other things, three years in prison and 100 hours of community service.

At the same time, the NBA launched its own investigation. All parties have been heard, witnesses have been heard and domestic violence experts have been consulted. It remains to be seen whether Bridges will get another chance in the NBA after the league’s ruling. (dti)
