Over six months ago, Michael Jordan‘s team, the Charlotte Hornets, made headlines when rising star Miles Bridges was arrested under domestic violence charges. Fast forward to today, the young star of the Charlotte Hornets is reportedly in talks with the team for a new deal. Meanwhile, Bridges’ recent sighting during an NBA matchup and reports of his potential return has enraged the NBA world. 

Miles Bridges, 24, has been the focus of media attention this year for all the wrong reasons. In a tumultuous off-season, Bridges found himself on the wrong side of domestic violence allegations, which forever altered his budding career. However, the recent developments after Bridges pleaded no contest to the allegations against him has stunned the Internet. The prospect of the Hornets star making a potential return to the NBA has left NBA Twitter in shambles.

Fans were enraged after news involving Miles Bridges came to light

According to an ESPN report, Miles Bridges and his team, Klutch Sports, are in talks with the Charlotte Hornets on a new deal. According to sources, there is optimism for the young star regarding a potential agreement in the coming days. 

The NBA will look to implement the suspension protocols for Bridges under the NBA collective bargaining agreement, as soon as he signs with a team. However, the duration of the suspension is unclear. The league in the past had suspended a former Charlotte player Jeffery Taylor for 24 games in 2014 after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence assault.
