Mikal Bridges' Scoring Slump: What's Next?
Mikal Bridges of the New York Knicks is currently experiencing a significant scoring slump, with his points, minutes, and shooting efficiency all declining since late January. Despite his insistence that aggression is not the issue, Bridges has averaged just 11.4 points in under 30 minutes per game post-All-Star break, shooting 43% from the field and 34% from three-point range. Teammate Jalen Brunson encourages him to keep shooting and stay true to himself. The team recently switched coaches to Mike Brown, hoping his offense would unlock Bridges potential, but his shot attempts have decreased, and backup Landry Shamet has taken some of his minutes. Fans recall Bridges past slumps ending with strong playoff performances, and he recently signed a $150 million extension, demonstrating his capability. For now, Bridges remains focused on winning.
