Bridges's durability is the stuff of legend: he has not missed a single game since entering the NBA in 2018, a streak that reached 638 straight by April 2026 — the longest active run in the league. To protect it in a meaningless regular-season finale, coach Mike Brown played him for roughly 23 seconds, and Bridges committed a quick foul to exit. He famously ate Chipotle nearly every day for a decade.
Raised in the Philadelphia area by a single mother who worked in the 76ers' organization, he built his reputation on reliability and two-way versatility — the kind of low-maintenance, high-availability wing every contender covets. His reunion with Brunson and Hart, the 'Nova Knicks,' turned a college bond into a championship.
A durable, versatile 3-and-D wing — the iron man who guards the best and never sits.
