Mikal Bridges Heads Into 2026-27 With Knicks, No Injuries on the Books
newsroom · 3 h agoMikal Bridges returns to the New York Knicks for the 2026-27 season, his eighth in the league. The 30-year-old guard-forward is not on the injury report, and last season he played all 82 games for New York. The regular-season opener is still ahead.
Where Bridges Stands Heading Into the Season
Mikal Bridges is back with the New York Knicks for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 25. He is 30 years old, in his eighth NBA season, and played college ball at Villanova. Bridges lines up at guard-forward, standing 6-6 and weighing 209 pounds. Last season he played all 82 games for New York, a workload that shows he stayed on the floor start to finish. The season has not tipped off yet, so there is no 2026-27 record to report. Fans will get their first look at Bridges in a Knicks uniform this year once the schedule opens. Until then, last season's numbers and his health status are the clearest signals of where he stands.
Last Season's Numbers
In 2025-26, Bridges averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists a game for the Knicks, adding 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks. He shot 49.0 percent from the field, 37.1 percent from three, and 82.7 percent from the line, good for a 58.7 true shooting percentage. He played 32.8 minutes a night and carried a 17.0 usage rate, with a plus-minus of 3.6 and 1.0 turnovers per game. Those numbers point to a low-turnover, efficient role player who logs heavy minutes. He appeared in every one of the team's 82 games, underscoring his availability. Those figures are all from last season, not the current one, since 2026-27 has yet to begin.
A Look Back at the Postseason Run
The most recent game on file is from last season's playoff run: on 2026-06-13, Bridges and the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs. Bridges scored 14 points, grabbed 2 rebounds and dished 4 assists in 38.6 minutes, posting a plus-6 for the game. That workload, nearly 39 minutes, shows the trust the coaching staff put in him in a high-stakes game. The scoring total was modest next to his season averages, but the minutes and the plus-minus mark a winning individual performance. That game stands as the latest data point on Bridges heading into the new season.
Injury Report
Bridges is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history on file for him. Combined with his 82-game, no-missed-time season a year ago, the picture is a healthy player entering training camp. No current concerns are listed that would affect his availability once the season opener arrives.
What's Next
The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there is no record to speak of. The opener is still ahead. Bridges heads into it with a clean bill of health and a full, durable season behind him. His per-game numbers from 2025-26, his health status, and last season's playoff win over the Spurs are the clearest markers available right now for what he brings into the new year.
