Bridges has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children last month, and the three felony charges were filed Tuesday by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

Bridges' case was continued to Aug. 19, when a date for a preliminary hearing is slated to be scheduled, via the report.

Bridges was arrested on June 29th and was later released on a $130,000 bond.

Following the incident, Mychelle Johnson, Bridges' wife and the mother of their two children, shed light on the NBA player's alleged actions, posting a series of photos to Instagram showing the bruising she claims Bridges caused, as well as what appears to be a hospital report with some harrowing photos.

"I hate that it has come to this but I can't be silent anymore," she wrote in an Instagram post several days after the incident without mentioning Bridges directly.

Johnson claimed her injuries to include a torn eardrum and a fractured nose.

"I've allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life," she said. "I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won't allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I'm not."

Before the player got arrested, the Hornets had extended a qualifying offer to him to extend the contract. Although the team was expected to rescind the offer, the club didn't pull the qualifying offer.
