Mikal Bridges has put together a highly impressive rookie campaign, ranking among the league’s best defenders at just 22 years old. Earlier this week, Bridges was honored for his hustle, grit and determination as he awarded the 2019 Dan Majerle Hustle Award.
“It means a lot,” Bridges said. “Just shows how hard I play out there. Do whatever it takes to win playing as hard as I can for my teammates.”
And those teammates played a major role in Bridges being named the recipient. The selection is based on the results of five voting categories: Suns fans, Suns players, Suns coaches, Suns employees and Dan Majerle himself with each voting group carrying an equal weight.
