Miles Bridges' return to the Charlotte Hornets has been a hot-button topic, with one side of the debate saying that he shouldn’t be allowed back on an NBA court.

Nonetheless, Bridges served his suspension from the league with regard to a domestic violence incident. Bridges, who missed the entire 2022-2023 season, served a 30-game suspension from the league, 20 of which the league viewed as served during last year’s sitting-out by the forward. 

The Hornets released a statement prior to Bridges playing on Nov. 17, saying "we are comfortable with Miles returning to play based on our current understanding of the facts of the recent allegations and remain in contact with the NBA as that matter proceeds through the court process."

"I know a lot of people feel some type of way about me being back, and I understand that. It’ll be a while before I gain their trust back. So, I’m just going to go out there and play. If I get us some more wins, people’s perspective will change," Bridges added prior to his first game.

Bridges was charged with felony domestic violence of injuring a child’s parent in November 2022, and he pleaded no contest. The details, which were graphic, led many to believe he shouldn’t play again. 

Among them was former NBA center Chandler Parsons.
