Report: Hornets' rookie Bridges inks 4-year endorsement deal with Nike

Miles Bridges is joining the Nike family.

The Charlotte Hornets rookie has reportedly signed a four-year endorsement deal with the apparel company, league sources told the Athletic's Shams Charania.

Bridges joins a long list of NBA players already with the brand, including LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant.

The 20-year-old forward was selected 12th overall in this summer's draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. His rights, along with a pair of second rounders, were then sent to Charlotte in exchange for the 11th overall pick, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Bridges averaged 17.1 points, seven rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 45.7 percent shooting during his sophomore year at Michigan State.
