Bridges Traded Amid Hornets Shake-Up
22 Oct
Summary
- Bridges' entire NBA career was with the Hornets.
- He averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists last season.
- This trade follows LaMelo Ball's recent deal to the Timberwolves.
Miles Bridges' tenure with the Charlotte Hornets has officially concluded, as his draft rights were acquired in 2018 and he spent his entire NBA career with the team.
Last season, Bridges was a productive player, appearing in 77 games. He recorded averages of 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, alongside 1.9 three-pointers made per contest. His shooting efficiency was notable, with a 46.0 percent field goal percentage and an 82.2 percent success rate from the foul line.
This trade marks the second significant roster move for the Hornets in less than a week. The franchise is actively charting a new path, following the recent trade of star player LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Bridges had missed the entire 2022-23 season due to a domestic abuse case that has since been resolved. Despite this, he has proven to be a valuable asset on the court when available. However, his fantasy ceiling may be limited on a new team with established players like Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks.
