Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (hip) won't play on Wednesday against Toronto. He logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. However, the Hornets were eliminated from Postseason contention long ago, so it's unknown if the hip soreness will keep Bridges off the floor for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Without Bridges in the mix, Tidjane Salaun, averaging 6.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in eight starts this season, should fill the hole in the rotation, with DaQuan Jeffries, KJ Simpson, and Jusuf Nurkic potentially in line for increased production.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (illness) will play on Thursday versus the New York Knicks. He wasn't available for Tuesday's loss to the Hawks, allowing DaQuan Jeffries to slide into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing a team-high 19 points (tied) with five boards and two blocks. While Jeffries could see some work on Thursday night, he'll have a difficult time staying as productive with Bridges and LaMelo Ball (wrist) in the equation.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (illness) is listed as probable heading into Thursday's encounter with the Knicks. He didn't suit up for Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. DaQuan Jeffries entered the starting lineup, amassing a team-high (tied) 19 points with five boards and two blocks. But with Bridges and LaMelo Ball (wrist) expected to get back on the floor, Jeffries will be tough to trust in any fantasy setup.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (rest) will not be in action on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out the game for rest purposes. It's a busy week for the Hornets, who begin a stretch of four games in six days Tuesday night. Nick Smith Jr. may return to the first unit against Atlanta, while Wendell Moore Jr. and Marcus Garrett (back) are also options to start in place of Bridges. Additionally, LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Mark Williams are expected to get more offensive touches.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (illness) will play in Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Bridges has been fighting an illness that may impact his performance on Monday, but he remains an appealing fantasy option. After a highly productive February, Bridges started March with an 18-7-7 line in Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Washington Wizards.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (back) will rejoin the action on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old is dealing with a back issue and didn't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Bridges is enjoying a strong month, having notched 20-plus points in six of eight games. He is in a great position to add to the streak on Saturday, as New Orleans has the third-worst defensive rating in the league. Bridges will reclaim his starting position from Cody Martin (core), who is unavailable on Saturday. Josh Okogie will log fewer minutes due to Bridges' return.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (back) will not suit up on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been ruled out for the game after being initially considered questionable. Bridges' exit from the lineup gives Cody Martin and Josh Okogie a chance to play expanded roles. Charlotte will also be without LaMelo Ball (wrist), leaving the team without two of its top three scorers. This will open up many additional scoring opportunities for the rest of the crew.
Miles Bridges May Miss Friday's Game Against Blazers
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (back) has picked up a questionable tag for Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. In their last game on Wednesday, Bridges clocked 34 minutes on the court and posted 17 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one steal. If he's unable to suit up for this one, Cody Martin (probable - groin) should see some extra time, and new addition Josh Okogie could see some big opportunities. Okogie could even turn into a long-term option for a lot of leagues since he'll likely see more minutes than recent seasons with the Phoenix Suns.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been tagged as questionable and is in danger of missing his 11th consecutive game due to a bone bruise in his right knee. The sixth-year wing has appeared in 11 games this season with averages of 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.2 threes, and 1.4 turnovers per game. If he's still unable to suit up, however, Cody Martin and Josh Green should remain in the starting five. Martin has turned himself into a valuable streamer in deeper leagues with 9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 threes per game over the last five contests.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has resumed on-court activity. He missed a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Miami due to a bone bruise on his right knee and remains without a timetable for his return, but this signals a significant step in the right direction for Bridges. Tidjane Salaun has played a bigger role in the Hornets rotation without Bridges, even logging 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games. Charlotte has lost a number of bodies to injuries, so Bridges might get heavy usage straight away once he's back in the lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 30.1 minutes this season.
