What happened

Mike Brown said he is not ready to change Mikal Bridges’ role after Wednesday’s loss, calling Bridges a starter despite early-season inconsistency.

Bridges played 17 minutes, scored two points, and stayed on the bench for the fourth quarter as Landry Shamet and Miles McBride kept closing.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Brown keeps using Shamet and McBride to finish games, Bridges’ late-game minutes could remain limited despite his starting designation.
