Mikal Bridges

A finalist for the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award, Phoenix Suns guard Mikal Bridges is capable of making life difficult for any perimeter player across the NBA landscape. Rotating over to contest a shot attempt from a New Orleans Pelicans guard, Bridges uses his 7-foot-1 wingspan to swat a layup attempt, and then again seconds later on a putback try. Taking on a little extra offensive responsibility with teammate Devin Booker out with an injury, Bridges had a night to remember in Game 5 of the First Round dropping a playoff career-high 31 points on just 17 shots, five rebounds, four blocks and four triples in the 112-97 win on April 26, 2022.
