This season, Mikal Bridges became an instant fan-favorite in the borough with his trade from the Phoenix Suns to the Brooklyn Nets. After never having averaged 15 points a game in his first four full seasons in the desert, Bridges put up 26.1 PPG on 48/38/89 shooting splits to wrap up his half-season in Brooklyn.
The bad news? Fans only got to see his effortless jumper and trademark 3-point celebration for 27 regular season games before a first-round sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news? Fans won’t have to wait for half-a-year before seeing ‘Brooklyn Bridges’ play again.
