Mikal Bridges Sits Late Again as Knicks Suffer Another Setback

The New York Knicks removed forward Mikal Bridges from the lineup in the final minutes of their game on Feb. 19, marking the second consecutive contest in which he remained on the bench during crunch time.
The late-game decision came amid another disappointing result for New York, though the club did not immediately explain why Bridges was kept out of the closing stretch.
The 27-year-old, acquired by the Knicks last offseason, has started every game this year and is one of the team’s primary perimeter defenders. Sitting him for the second straight finish is likely to raise further questions about the coaching staff’s rotation choices as the season progresses.
The Knicks return to action later this week as they attempt to rebound from their latest loss.
