Charlotte Hornets star Miles Bridges pleaded not guilty to felony domestic violence charges on Wednesday after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their children.

Bridges entered the plea at an arraignment, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said. He was formally charged with one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death on Tuesday.

"Domestic violence creates physical, mental and emotional trauma that has a lasting impact on survivors," Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said in a news release earlier this week. "Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable. Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process."
