Ja Morant's 25-game suspension is not expected to be shortened or extended, according to the NBA.

“The league and the Players Association and Ja and his people are in constant communication with this, and are all working together on this.

"From a league office standpoint, with the Players Association, with Ja and his people, everybody is collaborating together on this to make sure that this kid makes a smooth transition back to the league — whenever that is," said Joe Dumars, executive vice president of basketball operations for the NBA.

There was vagueness in the initial wording of the suspension, with Morant required to meet certain conditions before his return. 

Morant is currently allowed to practice and travel with the team while he serves the suspension. 

Morant is likely to return on December 19 against the Pelicans.

Miles Bridges was issued a criminal summons for violating a domestic violence protective order, misdemeanor child abuse, and injury to personal property on Wednesday.

Bridges is accused of throwing billiard balls at her vehicle while the children were inside it, smashing the windshield and leaving dents in the car, according to the summons. 

Bridges is also accused in the summons of threatening her that if she "told the police he would take everything from her and withhold child support" and that he "allowed his current girlfriend to yell, scream and kick the victim's car while the children were inside it." The summons does not say if the woman was in the car.

Bridges also has an unserved arrest warrant for violating a domestic violence protective order from January 2. 

Neither the summons nor the warrant has yet been served.

"We are aware of the reports and are in the process of gathering more information," said a spokesperson for the Hornets.

Bridges is currently serving a 30-game suspension for a domestic violence incident in 2022. 

Bridges, who is set to miss the first 10 games of this season, signed a $7.9 million qualifying offer with the Hornets earlier this summer.
