Hornets re-sign Miles Bridges to 3-year, $75M deal

The Charlotte Hornets are re-signing forward Miles Bridges to a three-year, $75-million deal, his agents told The Athletic's Shams Charania on Saturday.

Bridges scored a career-high 21 points per game last season, adding 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the 21-61 Hornets.

The 26-year-old was unsigned during the 2022-23 season after he was arrested and charged with domestic assault. He pleaded no contest to the charge and was sentenced to three years of probation. He was also suspended 30 games by the NBA.

Bridges has spent his entire five-year career with the Hornets after being drafted 12th overall out of Michigan State in 2018.
