Bridges, 25, has been shrouded in controversy since ever his 2022 arrest on felony domestic violence charges (right as he was about to hit restricted free agency). As a result, Bridges went unsigned and missed the entire 2022-23 NBA season.

While Bridges eventually agreed to a plea deal in which he avoided jail time, the league recently announced a 30-game suspension for Bridges (in which he is getting partial credit for the games that he already missed).

On the court, Bridges is a talented forward who averaged 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game over 80 starts for Charlotte during his last NBA season. He was getting interest not too long ago from a big team, and it would only take one team to overlook Bridges’ off-court issues and give him another chance.
