Mikal Bridges Traded to New York Knicks
Former Villanova Standout Joins Brunson, Hart, and DiVincenzo
Athletic Defender Adds Versatility to Knicks Roster
The New York Knicks have acquired forward Mikal Bridges from the Phoenix Suns in a trade, adding another former Villanova Wildcat to their roster. The 27-year-old Bridges joins Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mattheo Dellavedova, who were all teammates at Villanova.
Bridges, a 6-7, 191-pound wing, is known for his athleticism, defensive prowess, and sharpshooting abilities. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game last season for the Suns.
The Knicks are expected to benefit from Bridges' versatility, as he can play both forward positions and contribute in multiple ways. He is a skilled defender who can guard multiple positions, and his shooting ability will provide a boost to the Knicks' offense.
With the addition of Bridges, the Knicks now have four former Villanova players on their roster. This reunion could create a strong bond and familiarity within the team, which could translate into success on the court.
