The NBA is suspending Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges for 30 games – with 20 games considered already served, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. So Bridges will serve 10-game suspension for start of 2023-24 season.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 14, 2023

Hollinger:
Basketball-wise, Miller might be the safest player on the board after Wembanyama. NBA teams will delve deeply into what transpired off-the-court at Alabama this past season, but as of now, teams don’t seem overly concerned....His footwork is so good on the catch that he can easily be weaponized as a pick-and-pop threat,

i just feel like the truth of that whole story is hidden, plausible deniability is still in effect of course but i just don't know

there’s actually been very extensive reporting on it. i would recommend reading thishttps://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35777040/how-former-alabama-basketball-player-friend-ended-charged-death-jamea-harristhere is a major point of contention over who shot first — the victim’s boyfriend or the guy who was friends w/ darius miles, the bama player who was indicted and who texted miller asking him to bring his (miles’) gun, which was then used in the killingi personally can’t get to the point of saying that miller shouldn’t be drafted or play in the NBA because of this. you can say that if someone asks you to bring them a gun you should say no under any circumstance but not every 20 year old makes perfect decisions. it was not made explicit to him that xyz person was going to be shot, as opposed to, i may need this for my own protection. maybe you just call this plausible deniability but those are the facts of the case. and again you can say that you should flat out say no to such a request, but i do think it’s important to understand that miller was two degrees away from the shooter, who, if he did shoot first, appears to not have made his intentions known to anyone before firing you can also argue teams should be wary of him bcuz of this but that’s a different thing morally speaking. and idk how true that really is anyway. nobody knew that ja was gonna be riding around with guns 24/7, for instance. maybe this incident actually makes miller less likely to get caught up in stupid gun stuff moving forward. or maybe it doesn’t. but i don’t think anyone can definitively say
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 16 May 2023 20:23 (ten months ago) link
if i were a gm i would absolutely just move on to the next guy on the list based on just the facts of the case we know now, he could be a perfectly fine prospective nba citizen who just got caught up in some shit but its prob not worth the risk to find out, the thing that really put it over the top for me tho was when he did that lil handcuff dance before the next game, that was fucked someone was killed with a weapon you hand delivered

he should def be thanking his lucky stars twice per day that he didn't get charged w/ anything, but honestly imo murder charges based on being an accessory exist so that states can put as many black people in jail for life as humanly possible. like i don't think miles should get away scot free but charging him w/ murder bcuz his friend decided to shoot someone doesn't feel right either

A criminal summons has also been issued for Bridges, which came out Wednesday. Once again, because it has not been served, it’s not public record, so we have not been able to get a copy of it.The corresponding police report indicated that the victim’s windshield was smashed in and that her protective order was violated by Bridges’ appearance. The incident happened at her residence.The victim in question is Bridges’ longtime girlfriend. The pair has several children and is in the middle of a custody battle.

Manhattan prosecutors have dropped one of the assault charges against Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr., acknowledging Monday during Porter's hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court that he did not fracture his girlfriend's neck vertebra during an alleged attack at a New York City hotel last month.
According to the New York Post, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Mirah Curzer cited "insufficient evidence" as the reason for dropping the charge of second-degree assault, telling Judge Jay Weiner on Monday, "What initially appeared to be a fractured vertebrae was not in fact an injury caused by the defendant."

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 14:14 (five months ago) link
This trade does a version of the opposite. It commodifies domestic violence in the parlance of NBA contracts. Horrible behavior becomes salary cap maneuvering. Agreeing to pay the remainder of Porter’s contract is worth a vaguely intriguing prospect and two second-round picks. Porter might as well have torn his Achilles tendon for the purposes of this trade. Same upshot, more or less. Both teams took the reality of the situation and used it to pursue their basketball-specific goals. They lined up their assets and made what they thought was a mutually beneficial trade.Again: morally repugnant. Houston was reportedly shopping Porter around the league, attaching picks to Porter to make a potential trade more appetizing to other teams. The likelihood is if the Thunder had not made the trade, another team would have stepped in to make a similar deal work. The Rockets were clear that Porter was not going to play for them again after the incident. Viewing this through a basketball-first lens, they salvaged the contract they gave Porter the best way they could.

The issue isn’t so much that the Rockets and the Thunder made the situation work for themselves, but that their ability to do so speeds up the process of forgetting what Porter is alleged to have done. A cynic would suggest that is part of the point in allowing this.
i agree very much with this point from that piece. but i think it leaves a big problem unmentioned (and apologies if i missed it in there)--that there is no realistic mechanism to keep porter from getting his guaranteed money.
