Miles Bridges, 25, was issued a 10-year criminal protective order for his girlfriend after he pleaded no contest to a felony charge of injuring a child’s parent in November 2022.

Moreover, he was also sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to take weekly narcotics and marijuana tests for pleading no contest to the felony charge that originated from allegations he “assaulted the mother of his children in front of them.”

Following his arrest, he was released on a $130,000 bond. Of course, Bridges went without signing a contract with an NBA team last offseason. His four-year, $16.32 million rookie-scale contract expired.

“I apologize to everybody for the pain and embarrassment I caused everyone but especially my family,” Bridges said in July. “This year away, I used it to prioritize just going to therapy and becoming the best person I can be.

“You know, someone that my family and everybody here can be proud of. I want to thank the Hornets organization and the NBA for giving me a second chance.

“A lot of people don’t get a second chance, and I want to use this second chance just to prove to everybody that I’m the same kid that you drafted five years ago.
