Impact Bridges will head to the Knicks after being traded from Phoenix to Brooklyn in a package for Kevin Durant in 2022-23. Last season, Bridges averaged 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes across 82 appearances, all of which were starts. In New York, Bridges will likely start at one of the forward spots, especially if the team is unable to retain OG Anunoby in free agency. Bridges is one of the league's most effective three-and-D wings, has displayed impressive availability throughout his career, and has a good relationship with former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart.

Season ends on low note Bridges amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Bridges operated in a limited workload for the third consecutive contest with Brooklyn's season being inconsequential in the bigger picture down the stretch. Nonetheless, Bridges' inefficiency mirrored his past 15 contest in which he connected on just 39.9 percent on 12.9 shots per game. The 27-year remains an elite two-way player, but substantial evidence arose this season that Bridges is not a go-to No.1 option in an offense, and that attempting to be one is damaging to his defensive intensity.

Strong from deep to boost offense Bridges ended with 13 points (5-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Sunday's 116-104 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Drains four threes in loss Bridges racked up 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 105-93 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The 27-year-old forward was one of the few Brooklyn players to have much success against New York's perimeter defense -- Cameron Johnson went 3-for-6 on three-point attempts, and the rest of the team went 5-for-19 (26.3 percent). Bridges has scored in double digits in 12 of the last 13 games, and he's averaged 18.0 points, 4.7 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.

Bounces back against Milwaukee Bridges totaled 24 points (9-19 FG, 6-14 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 115-108 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Bridges was coming off three straight games in which he couldn't surpass the 15-point mark, including a dreadful seven-point effort against the Pacers on March 16, but he bounced back here. He's reached the 20-point mark just three times since the beginning of the current month, allowing Cam Thomas to gain a more significant role on offense in the process. Still, Bridges is averaging a decent 18.3 points per game across 11 March contests.

Woeful shooting performance Bridges contributed seven points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Bridges had one of his worst offensive showings of the season Saturday, finishing with just one field goal made and failing to reach the 10-point mark just for the fourth time in the campaign. However, Bridges is too talented to struggle this bad over a prolonged stretch, and he should be able to bounce back when the Nets take on the Spurs on Sunday.

Strong from deep in 25-point game Bridges logged 25 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 120-101 win over Cleveland.

Impact Bridges connected on a team-high-tying handful of threes while ending as one of two players with 25 or more points to go along with a handful of rebounds and assists in a balanced performance. Bridges, who also recorded a team-best trio of steals, has scored 25 or more points in 17 outings while posting at least 25 points, five boards and five assists in six games this season.

Poor shooting continues in loss Bridges logged 19 points (6-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Bridges continues to struggle from the floor, shooting under 37 percent for the fourth straight game. Despite playing heavy minutes on a nightly basis, Bridges has been a disappointment this season. He is the 90th-ranked player in standard nine-category leagues, well below where he was being drafted. Given he has been outside the top 150 over the past month, it's safe to assume expectations will be tempered heading into the 2024-25 season.

Impact Bridges has shown time and time again he can take over a game with his scoring ability, and that's exactly what he did Saturday, carrying the Nets to a much-needed victory to keep their Play-In chances alive entering the final six weeks of the regular season. This was also a massive bounce-back effort from Bridges, as he was on a run of four straight appearances where he couldn't surpass the 15-point mark. Bridges had made just 32.2 percent of his field goals in that four-game stretch.
