Miles Bridges ruled out after leaving Hornets' game vs. Bucks in first quarter with ankle injury
The injury occurred early in the first quarter as Bridges tried to fight through a screen set by Myles Turner and stepped awkwardly on his right foot before falling to the floor. He stayed in the game, but then appeared to hurt it again as he closed out on a 3-point attempt by Gary Trent Jr. and landed on his right foot and came up hobbling.
