Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges addressed his year-long absence from the NBA by apologizing Tuesday for causing "pain and embarrassment" after a domestic violence incident in which he was accused of assaulting the mother of his children in front of them
"I want to apologize to everybody for the pain and embarrassment that I have caused everyone, especially my family," Bridges said. "This year away I've used to prioritize going to therapy and becoming the best person I can be -- someone that my family and everyone here can be proud of."
Bridges, 25, did not play last season after he was arrested in Los Angeles on June 29, 2022, on domestic violence charges and ultimately pled no contest while receiving a sentence of three years probation.
