Miles Bridges's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer, impending free agent Miles Bridges isn't expected to give the Charlotte Hornets a "hometown" discount. While Bridges has stated he wants to remain in Charlotte, Boone indicated the veteran would sign with the team "who offers the most money," with the Pistons one of the likeliest suitors because of cap space. He didn't play in 2022-23. However, the 26-year-old returned for the 2023-24 campaign and averaged career-highs in points (21.0) and rebounds (7.3). Nonetheless, wherever Bridges lands this offseason, he should remain a top fantasy producer.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com, the Pistons might be interested in signing forward Miles Bridges this summer. After sitting out the 2022-23 campaign because of legal troubles, the 26-year-old amassed a career-high 21.0 points and 7.3 rebounds in 69 games with the Hornets this season. Of course, there will be more than a handful of teams expected to make an offer. However, Detroit will have the cap space during the offseason, although the interest could fade depending on who takes over as the president of basketball operations.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (wrist) will be back on the court in Friday's matchup against Orlando. He missed Wednesday's clash with Portland due to a wrist contusion but is good to go on Friday, with the team upgrading Bridges from probable to available. Bridges has had a good comeback campaign in the Association, averaging 21.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 37.8 minutes. However, he's struggled against the Magic, shooting only 41.7 percent from the field to post 15.3 points across three meetings.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Orlando Magic. He was unable to play in Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers because of a right wrist contusion but is trending in the right direction for his matchup with the Magic. Bridges has been asked to play heavy minutes recently, totaling 43 minutes in two straight games before his injury. He is also coming off two great performances, including his game against the Boston Celtics, where he flirted with a triple-double (26 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists). Final confirmation about his status will come on Friday before tip-off.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (wrist) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Wednesday's contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers. A right wrist contusion leaves Bridges unlikely to play against Portland, which would clear up a spot in Charlotte's starting lineup at power forward for the likes of Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski. Neither of the two are anything more than hit-or-miss fantasy streamers on Wednesday, but the Blazers do rank 23rd in the NBA in opponent rebounding percentage (48.9%). Managers hope to get Bridges back during the fantasy finals on Friday against the Orlando Magic, as the 26-year-old playmaking forward is averaging 22.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.1 threes in 39.6 minutes across his last 13 appearances.
