According to TMZ Sports, NBA star Miles Bridges was detained on suspicion of felony domestic abuse on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The forward, 24, who most recently played for the Charlotte Hornets, surrendered himself to a local jail on Wednesday in connection with an alleged violent incident that took place the previous day.
According to law enforcement sources, a woman says she and Bridges got into a violent altercation. Police were reportedly called to the site, but when they arrived, Bridges had already left. The woman, so we’re informed, needed medical help.
The 6’7″, 225-pound man turned himself in on Wednesday afternoon and was later taken into custody by LAPD. He was released when his $130,000 bail was granted.
Bridges, who also performs as RTB MB on the rap scene, played with the Hornets for his first four seasons but is anticipated to be a top free agent target this off-season.
Bridges, who averaged 13.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game during four seasons at Michigan State, was selected with the 12th overall choice in the 2018 NBA Draft. In 2021–22, he had his finest season yet, averaging 20.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.
Bridges’ representatives were contacted for comment, but thus yet there has been no response.
