In a few moments the already bad evening for the
Hornets
and in particular for
Miles Bridges
precipitates : the player from Charlotte, frustrated like the whole team for an imminent defeat, loses his head in the middle of the fourth period after the referees sanction him for a Interference to the basket after an attempt by De'Andre Hunter.
Bridges is not there, begins to complain and takes
two technical fouls in a few moments
: game over, with the Georgia public trying to underline him in every way from the stands.
While the Hornets talent heads towards the locker room, however,
a fan yells at him something
particular
that triggers the reaction in him
: Bridges in fact does not think twice,
he takes off his mouthguard and throws it towards the public
,
but hitting a girl
near the tunnel leading to the changing rooms and
which had nothing to do with what happened
.
According to the Charlotte Observer, the girl is 16 years old and was hit on the left shoulder.
"What I did is unacceptable and I take full responsibility for
it," said a repentant Miles Bridges shortly after the game, as reported by Sky Sports.
"It was a gesture that does not belong to my way of being, I don't behave like that. Overwhelmed by emotions I had no control: I hope to be able to be put in contact with the girl to apologize from the heart and do something nice to make me forgive .
It's just my fault
, "said the player.
Coach Borrego
said the Hornets are trying to clarify what happened and that they will not be long in taking
action
, as well as the
NBA
which has already initiated proceedings against Bridges.
