Logs three steals in Friday's loss Bridges finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 98-93 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Bridges lead the Knicks with a season-high three steals, two of which came in the third quarter. He's been a non-factor offensively through six regular-season games, having scored in double digits only twice to open the 2026-27 season while connecting on 33.3 percent of his field-goal attempts (including 29.2 percent from three-point range on 4.0 3PA). His 6.2 points per game average currently sits at a career low, as does his averages in rebounds (2.8) and steals (0.8).

Drills four triples in win Bridges amassed 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Following a 0-for-10 start from beyond the arc through three games this season, Bridges was finally able to find his range to help the Knicks earn their first victory of 2026-27. The 12 points were also a season high, so the hope is that Bridges can carry this momentum going forward.

Quiet start continues Bridges registered six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Magic.

Impact The six points were actually a season high for Bridges, who has really struggled to get going so far this year. The forward has still yet to knock down a single three-pointer, having gone 0-for-10 from beyond the arc, but Bridges should remain a starter for the defending-champion Knicks moving forward.

Shaky start to season Bridges racked up zero points (0-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to the Celtics.

Impact It was a brutal showing by Bridges, who watched as sixth man Miles McBride went off for 20 points off the bench. Bridges has now gone just 2-for-16 from the field and 0-for-7 from beyond the arc through two games on the young season, and the Knicks showed Friday they're willing to ride a hot hand in McBride when applicable.

Struggles with shot Bridges produced four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Bridges endured a forgettable shooting night as the Knicks dropped their season opener following their championship banner ceremony. The veteran wing attempted just eight shots despite logging the second-most minutes on the team, and his minus-15 rating was among New York's worst. His established starting role should provide opportunities to rebound, but fantasy managers will want to see greater offensive involvement moving forward.

Efficient scoring in win Bridges delivered 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 30 minutes in Thursday's 122-120 preseason win over the Raptors.

Impact Bridges connected on five of his five two-point attempts, helping New York build a halftime advantage. He also supplied two blocks, including a rejection of RJ Barrett's three-point attempt at the end of the second quarter. Although Bridges committed four turnovers, his efficient scoring and defensive contributions highlighted his ability to make an impact without dominating the ball.

Impact According to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post, Mike Brown said that he will hold out his regular starters for Tuesday's game in Toronto for rest purposes. With Bridges and the rest of the first unit unavailable, Jordan Clarkson might see a large uptick in usage.

Quiet in preseason opener Bridges recorded three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes in Monday's 120-97 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact None of the Knicks' projected five starters logged more than 15 minutes in this preseason opener, but it'd be a stretch to say Bridges did too much -- he was one of three starters who scored five or fewer points. Bridges is an established veteran who's locked into a starting role ahead of the 2026-27 regular season opener against this Philadelphia team on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
