On May 21, with the deepening of the NBA playoffs, there are only four teams left in the league to fight for the championship this season. Other players have entered the offseason. George once again started his own live broadcast. James and Nash's programs are also doing well, and Simmons posted photos of fishing, and they have fun. As an NBA player, he has been playing high-intensity games and has made a lot of money. It is reasonable to enjoy it during the offseason.
But not all players are very happy during the offseason. Hornets' forward player Miles Bridges was very depressed. He updated social media today and wrote a passage: In your eyes, I will always be a bad person, but I sincerely ask, what should I do? I don't want to be wronged, I just want to be a father, but my child's mother doesn't let me do that. When you see Bridges’ experience, you may understand what it means to not die without committing suicide.
The story starts in 2022. Bridges was arrested for felony domestic violence. His girlfriend Michelle Johnson accused Bridges of domestic violence against her. When she was investigated, she said that Bridges had physically attacked her, causing her to be injured, with nasal fractures, concussions and rib contusions, and also smashed her car. Bridges denied this. He said he did not do so, and stated that the injuries Michelle joined forces were caused by failed lip augmentation and acne.
The most objection to domestic violence in the NBA is domestic violence. The league is very resistant to this, so Bridges was also affected. At first, in the 22-year offseason, the Hornets planned to give Bridges a five-year, 170 million contract, but because of this, the Hornets did not want to give the contract, because Bridges may face jail, and he also became a restricted free agent. Although he averaged 20 points and 7 rebounds this season, no team still wanted to sign him.
In the end, Bridges was suspended for 30 games, but no team signed him. Bridges was suspended for one year compared to the court's trial. Bridges was sentenced to three years of probation after admitting domestic violence and was not sentenced to prison. The matter seemed to be not over yet. After that, Bridges' girlfriend rushed into Bridges' home with the guy and committed "domestic violence" on Bridges. This scene happened to be photographed, and the matter also turned around. Since then, he has supported Michelle one-sidedly, and someone has started to support Bridges.
Because of this, the Hornets also became tolerant of Bridges. They signed Bridges with a one-year contract of 7.9 million. After returning to the team, Bridges was not affected by missing a season. He still played star-level data, averaging 21.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.7%. In February 24, this incident ushered in a turning point.
According to TA reporters, the Mecklenburg Court in North Carolina rejected the four charges against Bridges. Because Bridges' girlfriend confessed many inconsistencies, she first claimed that the car was smashed by a woman, and then said that it was smashed by Bridges, and later said that it was uncertain why. In addition, the Bridges domestic violence incident also reversed. According to prosecutors, Michelle no longer has a chat record, nor does she remember contacts and content, so given her lack of memory and no other evidence, the charges were unsuccessful.
Regardless of whether Bridges' domestic violence is true or false, judging from Michelle's lack of memory, it is estimated that Bridges spent money to settle the matter. After this incident, the two of them began to separate. The reason why Bridges posted this tweet was probably because the child was with his ex-girlfriend, and now they don't allow him to see him when they meet the child. Last summer, Bridges received a three-year, 75 million contract with outstanding performance. Although it is not low, he could have won a larger contract in terms of his strength.
Bridges can average 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this season. This is the team's main goal to give three goals, so Bridges has no absolute goal. With his ability, it should not be a big problem to score 22+8 per game. Bridges is now relied on his outstanding performance and has regained the recognition of other teams. Previously, the Clippers were interested in him. It is estimated that the team will be interested in him in the offseason.
There are many players who have ruined their careers due to domestic violence in the NBA. For example, Kevin Porter Jr. If it weren't for domestic violence, he might still have been with a big contract. If the Clippers hadn't given him a chance this season, he might not have been able to return to the league. I hope he can reform himself. After being traded by the Clippers to the Bucks this season, he proved himself. It is estimated that a team will send him an olive branch this summer, but given his previous behavior, he should not get a core position and a big contract.
