The result and impact of this latest off-court incident on Bridges' playing aspirations for the 2023/24 season is unclear at this moment. The NBA and Hornets organization will unlikely be able to investigate or comment until the criminal proceedings are canceled, casting doubt into Bridges' availability and future with the franchise.
