Very Sad News : Charlotte Hornets Coach Steve Clifford, Announced Resignation And Departure Today After Facing…
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was denied entry to Canada on Sunday, per multiple reports, as a result of his legal issues.
Before a game in Toronto on Monday against the Raptors, Hornets Coach Steve Clifford confirmed to reporters that Bridges was not with the team. Clifford declined to engage in specifics about Bridges’s absence.
The Hornets attempted to get Canadian authorities to reverse their decision, per reports. A spokesman for the team did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment.
Bridges, 25, began the season by sitting out the final 10 games of a 30-game suspension the NBA gave him in April, following an agreement he reached in November with the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office in which he pleaded no contest to one felony count of injuring a child’s parent. The agreement, which allowed Bridges to avoid jail time, called for three years of probation plus 52 weeks of parenting classes, 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling and 100 hours of community service.
