Mikal Bridges Addresses Statistical Decline With Knicks

Mikal Bridges is experiencing a significant statistical drop-off since late January, averaging 11.4 points on 43.2% shooting post-All-Star break. Bridges denies that a lack of confidence or aggression is the issue, attributing the slump to the flow of the game and lack of opportunity. While he has lost some playing time to Landry Shamet, teammates like Jalen Brunson continue to encourage him to remain aggressive as the team navigates the season.
