Michael Jordan‘s fascinating legacy and his stint with the Chicago Bulls can be considered a rare occurrence that the league has witnessed only a couple of times. However, the Charlotte Hornets have time and again failed to meet the expectations that come with being the team of one of the best players in the NBA. On top of that, Jordan’s franchise found itself in a difficult situation when one of its players got involved in a huge controversy. Several months after facing an investigation, the Hornets player seems to have plans of making a comeback.

Miles Bridges might soon return to the court
In June 2022, 24-year-old NBA star Miles Bridges found himself in a pickle when his former partner accused him of inflicting bodily harm. Bridges allegedly assaulted Johnson in presence of their two children. Consequently, the LAPD charged him with domestic violence and child abuse. Bridges pleaded guilty to the charges and he was released with a probation period of three years. Several days after the arrest, the Hornets made the decision of pulling the qualifying offer to make Bridges a free agent.
