The Charlotte Hornets and Miles Bridges have allowed his $7.9 million qualifying offer to expire. The two sides could have mutually agreed to extend the qualifying offer.

Bridges is a restricted free agent, but his NBA future remains in limbo due to felony domestic violence charges he faces in Los Angeles.

Bridges and the Hornets could have extended the qualifying offer as late of March 1st.

Bridges was always considered unlikely to return to the Hornets on the qualifying offer.
