Mikal Bridges Joins Knicks in Blockbuster Trade

Bridges reunites with Villanova teammates in a move that bolsters New York's championship hopes.

The Knicks traded Bojan Bogdanovic, Shake Milton, Mamadi Diakite, and five draft picks to acquire Bridges from the Nets.
Bridges described the opportunity to play for the Knicks as 'surreal' and expressed excitement about reuniting with his former college teammates.
Known for his durability, Bridges has not missed a game in his NBA career and embraces the challenge of playing under coach Tom Thibodeau.
The Knicks are also exploring options to strengthen their center position, with interest in Utah's Walker Kessler.
Bridges aims to help the Knicks compete with top Eastern Conference teams like the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers.
