Rotowire
Bridges ended with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 94-87 loss to the Cavaliers.
Bridges struggled for the third straight game, a stretch in which he has averaged just 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 26.3 minutes per game. While managers may have to temper their expectations due to the fact that Charlotte is largely healthy at the moment, Bridges will almost certainly be better than this moving forward, making this a bit of a buy-low opportunity.

Rotowire
Bridges is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.
Bridges was recently on the injury report due to a right ankle issue and is now working through a knee injury to the same leg, though he is trending toward being available for Monday's road tilt.

Bridges registered 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during the Hornets' 122-121 loss to the Bucks on Friday.

Rotowire
Bridges (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Officially out
Rotowire
Bridges (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Golden State.
Bridges was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Wednesday morning, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 27-year-old will have a couple of days to heal his right ankle sprain before Charlotte begins a back-to-back set Friday in Milwaukee. In the meantime, Tidjane Salaun, Sion James and Liam McNeeley could see increases in playing time.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Exits with ankle injury
Rotowire
Bridges exited Monday's game against the Bucks with a right ankle injury and won't return.
Losing Bridges is a massive blow for a Hornets team that's already down another starting forward in Kon Knueppel (ankle). Tidjane Salaun and Josh Green are expected to see an uptick in playing time with Bridges sidelined. The veteran forward will aim to return for the Hornets' next game against the Warriors on Wednesday.

Bridges' two rebounds tied a season low, and he didn't chip in much in other peripheral categories. Still, his scoring ability prevented the night from being a wash, as he scored at least 18 points for the 17th time in 28 games this season. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 21.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 34.6 minutes in the 2025-26 campaign.

Bridges finished Sunday's game as the Hornets' leader in points, rebounds and assists, and he came close to logging the second triple-double of his NBA career. The eighth-year forward has been a consistent contributor for the Hornets this season, though his three-point shooting has been an area he has struggled with (30.8 percent on 7.7 3PA/G). Bridges is averaging 21.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks over 34.7 minutes per game this season.
