Hornets' Miles Bridges Denied Entry into Canada Due to Legal Issues

Bridges' Absence Poses Challenge for Hornets Amid Four-Game Losing Streak

Miles Bridges, forward for the Charlotte Hornets, has been denied entry into Canada, preventing him from participating in the game against the Toronto Raptors.
Bridges' denial is likely due to his legal issues, including a no contest plea to a felony charge of injuring a child's parent, stemming from a domestic violence case in June 2022.
As part of his plea agreement, Bridges is serving three years of probation, attending domestic violence counseling and parenting classes, and undergoing weekly narcotics and marijuana testing.
Bridges was suspended by the NBA for the first 10 games of the season after sitting out all of last season. Since his return, he has averaged 19.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in 12 starts.
The Hornets, already dealing with injuries to key players, will face a significant challenge without Bridges as they attempt to break a four-game losing streak.
