The Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies have been linked to a pursuit of Miles Bridges in restricted free agency.
The Pacers have considered a run for Bridges, sources tell Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. It is unclear, however, whether the Pacers are actually prepared to add an expensive contract as the rebuild. The Pacers have historically eschewed pursuing restricted free agents, but they did acquire Malcolm Brogdon in a sign-and-trade in 2019.
Executives also say that the Grizzlies are a “sleeper candidate” for Bridges. Bridges played collegiately at Michigan State with Jaren Jackson Jr. League figures with knowledge of the situation have shot down the rumored interest of the Grizzlies.
The Hornets have signaled they’re prepared to match any offer sheet for Bridges.
