Bridges pleaded No Contest to charges of felony domestic violence back in November. The plea meant no jailtime for Bridges, but he is subject to three years probation that entail weekly drug testing, parenting classes, domestic violence counseling, and community service. The plea also means the legal side of the situation is over with assuming Bridges can stick to the terms of his plea.
Bridges’ comments imply that the NBA’s investigation into his situation is almost complete. He hasn’t played all season while the investigation has run its course, and it remains to be seen if the NBA will impose further discipline on Bridges on top of all the games he’s missed and not been paid for up to this point.
