What a piece of shit. Hopefully the fact that his victim used to be in the WNBA forces the league to finally start taking these things seriously but after the shameful way they handled the Bridges situation I'm not holding my breath.

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 (six 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.

Miles Bridges believes that public perception of him will change if he helps the Hornets get back on track “I know a lot of people feel some type of way about me being back and I understand that.
