What grade did Bridges earn after returning from a suspension to start the year?
After a career tarnishing 12 months where Bridges pled no contest and narrowly avoided jail time for a felony charge of injuring a child's parent, Bridges returned, albeit after serving a 10 game suspension at the start the season. For some it was eagerly awaited, others it was bitter sweet. No matter which side of the discussion you were on, there were no past examples of a player being forced to sit out organised basketball for twelve months in their mid-20s while fully healthy.
Despite his negative public perception, Clifford and multiple players referenced to Bridges as one of the emotional leaders of the team after Rozier was traded. Bridges averaged a career high in minutes , points and rebounds . The main driver being his career high usage rate as injuries was into a top two offensive option next to Brandon Miller. Bridges efficiency suffered as a result, but that's to be expected with the lack of healthy and available talent on the roster.
Defensively, his off-ball awareness which was never considered a strength, remained eye poppingly bad. His declining athleticism also showed up on the defensive end, with a career low in blocks despite a career high in minutes. Despite playing so many minutes, Bridges looked "Heavy" all season which appeared to limit his speed and athleticism.
