Mikal Bridges ‘Knicks Debut’ New York Knicks 2024-2025 Kia NBA Tip-Off Game Worn Association Edition Jersey

This is the first regular season jersey worn by Mikal Bridges on the New York Knicks. This away ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Mikal Bridges on October 22, 2024, during the Kia NBA Tip-Off, when the  New York Knicks played the Boston Celtics. 

Bridges finished with 16 points and 2 assists. The Knicks lost to the Celtics, 132-109.

Mikal Bridges was drafted with the 10th pick of the 1st round of the 2018 NBA Draft out of Villanova University. At the time of cataloging, he has career averages of 14.3 points per game, 4.1 rebounds per game, and 2.6 assists per game.

With Bridges being traded to the New York Knicks in the offseason he joined his Villanova college teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. This worked to further the meaning of the team's new nickname, “Nova Knicks.” Bridges will look to lead the Knicks to a deep playoff run coming off the heels of their 2023 run to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. His tough perimeter defense and outside shooting will surely give a boost to a Knicks squad building around All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. 

Bridges was selected to the 2021-2022 NBA All-Defensive 1st Team.
