Phoenix Suns forward Miles Bridges is scheduled to appear at an introductory press conference on Wednesday, July 22, at 2 p.m., at the team’s practice facility.
The Suns dealt Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and a 2033 unprotected first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets last month for Bridges, a first-round pick in 2029 and a second-round pick in 2027. The Suns officially announced the trade July 13.
The 6-foot-7, 225-pound Bridges averaged 17.1 points in 77 games last season, helping the Hornets post their first winning record (44-38) since the 2021-22 season.
