Mikal Bridges of the New York Knicks said his recent scoring slump isn’t related to any drop in confidence, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post writes.
According to Bridges, fluctuations like this are simply part of the game.
“I think it’s just the game of basketball,” Bridges said. “Sometimes you try to get open and sometimes it doesn’t find me. Just try to find ways to stay aggressive. That’s it.”
Since the All-Star break, Bridges has been averaging 11.4 points per game entering Wednesday, while shooting 34.1% from three-point range.
Those numbers are noticeably lower than his production earlier in the season, when he averaged 15.9 points per game and shot 38.6% from three.
Even with the dip in scoring, Bridges emphasized that his focus remains on helping the team win in any way he can.
“I’m just trying to do whatever it takes to win, trying to find opportunities, try to do all the right things and be aggressive,” the veteran wing said.
