Miles Bridges has made a significant impact in his recent performances for the Charlotte Hornets, notably scoring 45 points with 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 6 three-pointers at a 63% field goal percentage in one game, and 41 points with 5 three-pointers and 4 assists at a 62% field goal percentage in another. These remarkable performances have placed him alongside Kemba Walker and Glen Rice as the only players in franchise history to score 45+ points in a game. Amidst trade rumors, Bridges has decided not to approve any trades, committing to stay with the Hornets for the rest of the season. This decision has been confirmed by his agent, Rich Paul, and reported by multiple sources including ESPN. Bridges' decision comes at a time when the Phoenix Suns showed significant interest in acquiring him. However, with Bridges staying, the Hornets retain his Bird Rights, and he will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Additionally, Bridges has maintained an impressive average over the last five games, scoring 28.4 points per game with a 55% field goal percentage, 45% from three-point range, and 80% from the free-throw line, alongside averages of 21.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers made per game this year.
