PHOENIX -- Suns forward Miles Bridges appears to be a good fit for his new team on the basketball court, giving it a beefy frontcourt presence who has scored at a high level over seven NBA seasons.
But his troublesome off-the-court history, including pleading no contest to a felony domestic violence charge in 2022, has mostly overshadowed his arrival.
Bridges, 28, said Wednesday that he was aware some Suns fans aren't thrilled he was now with the franchise.
"It's mixed feelings about me being here," Bridges said during his introductory news conference. "But I take full responsibility for my actions, I've been to counseling, I've been to therapy. Right now I'm prioritizing just being better as a man every day, on and off the court. Mainly off the court."
