Suns rookie Mikal Bridges likely out for rest of preseason with elbow injury

Suns rookie Mikal Bridges has gotten an early taste of the NBA, but a left elbow injury means he'll have to wait for more.

"It’s nothing serious, but he’s out of any basketball activities for the next seven days," coach Igor Kokoskov said Friday after the Suns' 115-92 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Bridges injured the elbow in Wednesday's preseason game against the New Zealand Breakers. He subbed out and initially felt fine before he felt some lingering pain and swelling. He missed Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, and the plan right now is to nurse it a little longer.
