Report | Miles Bridges Ruled Out vs Toronto And Denied Entry Into Canada
Rumors started swirling on Miles Bridges availability against the Toronto Raptors after a cryptic post on X where he stated “Got denied in the 6”. Since, it has been confirmed by WFNZ’s Kyle Bailey that Bridges entry into Canada for the Hornets’ road game was denied and the team were trying to find a resolution.
Bridges’ visa entry issue will stem from either his existing domestic violence charge or the ongoing investigation following an incident in October. Moments ago it was confirmed by Adrian Wojnarwoski that the decision will be "Unlikely" reversed for him to play in tonight's game despite the team’s efforts to resolve the issue. With the resolution just hours before the game, Bridges is all but guaranteed to miss out.
Bridges was not listed on the initial Hornets injury report, suggesting the team had no awareness of the Canadian entry issues he faced. Either Charlotte didn’t due their due diligence in researching and preparing ahead of the trip, or the information they had at hand was incorrect in suggesting Bridges would be allowed entry.
