Miles Bridges said he has been attending therapy sessions since his domestic violence arrest, speaking publicly on Thursday, July 23, 2026, after being traded to the Phoenix Suns.
The forward’s brief remark—“I’ve been to therapy”—came as the Suns confronted immediate blowback for bringing him onto the roster. Critics on social media and from advocacy groups questioned the franchise’s decision, describing the move as tone-deaf in light of Bridges’ past legal trouble.
Neither Bridges nor the Suns provided additional details about the therapy or the circumstances of the arrest. The organization also did not elaborate on any internal review or policies related to the acquisition.
The trade, announced earlier in the week, remains polarizing among fans and observers, with some applauding Bridges’ acknowledgment of counseling and others insisting the team should have avoided the transaction altogether.
