Miles Bridges, a key player for the Charlotte Hornets, will miss at least two weeks due to a bone bruise in his right knee, following an injury sustained during a game against Detroit.
Bridges, who recently signed a three-year, $75 million contract, has been a starter this season, averaging 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. However, his shooting has declined significantly.
The Hornets are also dealing with injuries to center Mark Williams and backup Nick Richards, making their front line particularly vulnerable.
