The Charlotte Hornets<\/a> have been a non-factor in the NBA for quite some time. Since Michael Jordan became the franchise's majority owner toward the end of the 2009-10 season, the Hornets have made just three appearances in the postseason, losing every time in the first round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since their last appearance in 2016, the Hornets have had a winning record just once. That was this past season when they made the play-in tournament with a 43-39 record, largely thanks to the breakout year of forward Miles Bridges<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Michigan State standout led the team in scoring in 2021-22, averaging a career-high 20.2 points while shooting a solid 49.1% from the floor. He also added 7.0 rebounds per night. And Bridges certainly picked the right season to play his best basketball as the restricted free agent set himself up for a big payday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his future in Charlotte \u2014 or anywhere else for that matter \u2014 is now up in the air as he was arrested on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
