Charlotte’s Miles Bridges basketball player was fined $ 50,000 for hitting a girl in the stands with a mouthpiece.
His team was defeated by the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs, and Bridges ended the match earlier after two technical fouls.
He headed for the locker room, but he couldn’t stand the ridicule of one of the Hawks fans and hit an innocent girl instead.
I let my temperament surface. It was definitely a mistake to throw away my mouthpiece. I was shooting at a guy who was screaming and hit a girl instead, that is completely unacceptable. I take full responsibility and I am ready for all the penalties that the league will bring in this case. I was definitely wrong, there were a lot of emotions, and I hope that I will be able to get in touch with the girl, sincerely apologize to her and do something nice for her, “said Bridges.
