In signing the qualifying offer from the Hornets, Bridges will have the opportunity to be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Bridges and the Hornets are reportedly not close to reaching an agreed-upon extension.
Bridges is currently on probation and also has a 30-game suspension with the NBA, ten of which he still has to serve after he pleaded no contest to felony domestic violence charges.
