**CHARLOTTE, NC –** Despite the Charlotte Hornets’ dismal 12-game losing streak, former Michigan State standout Miles Bridges continues to impress, averaging 19.6 points per game during the slump. His consistent performance, including an average of 31 minutes per game, has kept him a bright spot for a struggling team.

While Bridges’ season average sits at 17.7 points, his recent output highlights his individual excellence amidst the team’s collective struggles. The Hornets, currently second to last in the NBA in points per game (105.8), are mired in a season far below expectations, having won only seven games.

This underperformance casts a shadow over Bridges’ recent $75 million, three-year contract extension. While the deal might be beneficial for the Hornets in the long run, some analysts suggest that trading Bridges could spark a much-needed rebuild. His high level of play makes him a desirable asset for contending teams, and a trade could benefit both Bridges and the Hornets. The team will likely weigh their options if his performance continues at this level.
