• Hornets' Miles Bridges: Out at least two weeks

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  The Hornets announced Thursday that Bridges will miss at least two weeks due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Bridges hyperextended his knee in Wednesday's win over Detroit and was sent in for an MRI, which revealed the bone bruise. Given that the two-week timeline is merely a re-evaluation date, Bridges could require some ramp-up time thereafter before he's cleared for game action. In the 26-year-old forward's absence, Grant Williams (back) and Tidjane Salaun are candidates to take on increased minutes out of the frontcourt.

  Bridges (knee) closed with 27 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over the Pistons. Bridges finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, matching his season high with 27 points. It was a welcome sight after he had shot poorly in each of the four previous games, logging a grand total of just 37 points in that span. Bridges appeared to suffer a hyperextended knee late in the game but was able to return. However, it is something to keep an eye on moving forward, just in case it causes him to pop up on the injury report.

  Bridges finished with six points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Celtics. It was Bridges' lowest scoring output of the regular season Saturday as he attempted just six shots from the field. Part of that may have been due to the return of Brandon Miller in the starting lineup, but Bridges should be more involved in the Hornets' offense alongside Miller and LaMelo Ball. Bridges will look to get things right against the Timberwolves on Monday.
