As he walked off the court, Bridges appeared annoyed by a heckling fan and threw his mouthpiece at him. Unfortunately, the mouthpiece missed the heckler and hit a teenage girl standing next to him instead.
Miles Bridges popped that little girl in the head with his mouthpiece & she didn’t even flinch. Boss.

Somebody get me in contact with the young lady. That’s unacceptable. https://t.co/MlLZjMgcBF
