Bridges Nears Return: Hornets Await Ankle Injury Update
2 Jan
Summary
- Bridges is probable to play Friday after missing one game.
- He sustained a right ankle sprain during Monday's game.
- Bridges averaged 15.7 points in a quiet December.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is nearing a return to action and is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This follows a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Bridges originally picked up the injury during the Hornets' recent loss to the Bucks on Monday.
His anticipated return might influence the team's lineup decisions, potentially moving Collin Sexton back to a reserve role. Bridges experienced a relatively quiet performance in December, averaging 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.1 assists over 30.8 minutes per game. His shooting efficiency during this period was noted at 42.8 percent from the field and 27.0 percent from three-point range on 5.3 attempts per game.
The team will be evaluating his condition closely leading up to the game. His presence is crucial for the Hornets as they aim to improve their performance, and his return would provide a significant boost to their offensive capabilities.
