ELEVATED

In year 4, Mikal Bridges has grown from role player to franchise cornerstone with charisma, confidence and sacrifice

With the score tied at 21 in San Francisco and a couple minutes left in the second half, the crowd was looking the wrong direction. A big Juan Toscano-Anderson dunk got Warriors' fans attention, but the Suns' focus was at midcourt, where Mikal Bridges was lying after diving for a loose ball. When he popped up, the look on his face was as if he was about to be sick, and for good reason.

Bridges suffered a dislocated pinkie on the play and headed straight to the locker room.
