NBA's Miles Bridges Ejected From A Game Throws Mouthpiece Into The Stands

Charlotte Hornets star Miles Bridges was so furious after being ejected from a game Wednesday night he angrily chucked his mouthpiece into the stands, accidentally hitting a young girl near her face. The wild moment happened in the fourth quarter of the Hornets' blowout loss to the Hawks in Atlanta just seconds after Bridges was tossed from the contest for arguing about a goaltending call. The 24-year-old was pissed at the ref for blowing the whistle on him and he was so livid, his teammates and coaches had to usher him off the floor before things escalated. Bridges was on his way back to the locker room, an Atlanta fan appeared to taunt him which set the Hornets forward off. Bridges attempted to launch his mouthguard at the heckler but it missed, and hit a girl in the neck area. The girl did not appear to be injured but she was clearly confused and perturbed. After the game, Bridges calmed down and apologized for it all and said during his meeting with reporters that he was hoping to get in contact with the girl and "do something nice for her.
