Sources: Miles Bridges denied access to Canada

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is likely to miss Monday night's game against the Toronto Raptors after he was denied entrance to Canada due to his past legal problems, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Bridges, who pleaded no contest to a felony charge of injuring a child's parent, was denied access to the country Sunday.

Bridges is currently serving three years of probation after pleading no contest in exchange for no jail time in the June 2022 domestic violence case involving the mother of his two children, who accused Bridges of assaulting her in front of the children. He must adhere to a 10-year criminal protection order for the woman, weekly narcotics and marijuana testing, and restitution, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.

Bridges most recently turned himself in on Oct. 13 after an arrest warrant was issued for an alleged protection order violation.

The warrant had originally been issued on Jan. 2 but had not been served until October, just before the NBA season. Per court documents, Bridges "unlawfully" and "knowingly" violated the protection order and "continually contacted the victim."

That case is still pending.

Bridges was suspended by the NBA for the first 10 games of the season after sitting out all of last season. He is averaging 19.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game since his return from suspension in 12 starts.

Bridges' absence means the Hornets could be without four of their five starters as they look to snap a four-game losing streak.

Guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) and center Mark Williams (back) have already been ruled out, and Gordon Hayward is questionable with a stomach virus. The team's other starter, guard Terry Rozier, is probable with a thumb injury.

In addition, top reserve P.J. Washington (shoulder) is questionable and guard Cody Martin (knee) is out.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
