Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has climbed into third place on the franchise’s all-time scoring list, according to Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer.

In doing so, Bridges moved past Larry Johnson and Gerald Wallace, leaving only Dell Curry and Kemba Walker ahead of him, with Walker holding the top spot in team history.

“That means a lot at the same time because those guys put in hard work, and they actually made the playoffs here,” Bridges said. He added that the milestone reflects the long-term commitment between himself and the organization.

“So, that just shows my loyalty to this team and their loyalty to me. That’s big for me. I just want to continue to keep climbing up the ranks, but at the same time, I want to help us win.”

Bridges has played 7 seasons for the Hornets. He has averaged 16.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 466 regular-season games.
