History

Historical Context

After the NBA adopted a formal domestic-violence policy in 2004, the league set a minimum 10-game ban for players convicted of a violent felony and later reinforced it in 2014 under Commissioner Adam Silver. Miles Bridges received a 30-game suspension for a 2022 felony, and the Phoenix Suns’ July 13 2026 trade for him shows how that policy still drives roster decisions.
