MSU Alum remains consistent amid Hornets’ losing streak

On By Littum

Former Michigan State Spartan and current Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges hasn’t wavered in production as the team’s losing streak continues. The Hornets, who haven’t had the best season up to this point, have been heavily carried by the MSU alum.

In the 12-game losing streak, Bridges hasn’t missed a beat. Averaging 31 minutes on the court over the 12 games, he has tried his best to get a win for the Hornets to try and right the wrong before it’s too late.

Bridges has been a consistent fixture in the Hornets’ starting 5 since joining the squad back in 2018. As he’s learned and developed in the NBA, his game has shown as he’s improved every season since his rookie year . A good sign for the Hornets, but given their decline this season, could Bridges be moved to kick-start a rebuild in Charlotte?

Bridges has averaged 19.6 points per game over the losing stretch, but for the season he has averaged 17.7 points. He has shown great improvement and has been playing hard in trying to end the losing skid, but his team has not been able to pull away with a big win.

After signature Bridges to a 3-year contract extension worth $75 million, the Hornets have not lived up to the hype that surrounded them following news of the extension. After winning just seven games this season, hopes of finishing above the .500 mark seem far-fetched.

After not finishing above .500 since the 2021-22 season, the extension might be the best case scenario for the Hornets, but not Bridges. Given his play of late, Charolette may benefit more from moving Bridges than from holding his talents hostage on an underperforming team.

The Hornets are second from the bottom in the NBA in average points per game. match with 105.8. While Bridges has outscored a majority of his teammates in the losing streak, Charlotte may have to decide down the road and, if the deal is right, move Bridges to a possible contender if his level of play continues.
