Miles Bridges will return from suspension on the 18th
Bridges said returning to the court after a long absence was a lot like the first day of school.
Miles Bridges, the main forward of the Hornets, went to court due to a domestic violence case and therefore left the court for a whole season. Now, after 583 days, he is about to return in the next game against the Bucks. Regarding this Bridges couldn’t hide his nervousness and eagerness, saying it felt a lot like the first day of school.
“Basketball has always been my refuge, and it was hard for me to be away from basketball for a whole year, so I’m happy to be back on the court.” Bridges said after practice on Thursday, U.S. time, and regarding the domestic violence case , he kept silent and explained that the case was still ongoing.
The NBA authorities suspended Bridges for 30 games this summer due to a domestic violence case. However, considering that he did not play at all last season, it was ruled that the 20-game suspension has been served and the remaining 10 games will be executed this season. , now that the 10-game suspension is about to end, he has a chance to return to the league.
Hornets head coach Steve Clifford previously said that Bridges would play an important role in the team’s rotation the night he returned. Now he reiterated this idea again, pointing out that Bridges will be decided on the day of the game. It doesn’t matter whether Si starts or not, but whether he starts or not, he will get a lot of playing time.
Talking about returning to the NBA, Bridges admitted that he knew many people would have thoughts about him. He is now playing well and trying his best to help the team to change the outside world’s view of him and regain the trust of the outside world.(LVBET)
