Miles Bridges
2026–27 Season performance
Through November 7 of the 2026–27 season, he has played 8 games, averaging 16.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists. He provides frontcourt scoring, rebounds and passing for Phoenix. Extending and connecting possessions is an important part of his value alongside the lead scorers.
Updated 2026-11-10Career background
Bridges came from Michigan State, was selected 12th in 2018 and began his NBA career in Charlotte. He played 80 games as a rookie before taking on greater scoring and frontcourt responsibility. His development from rotation wing to a player capable of season-long scoring around the 20-point level is best read alongside his rebounding contribution.
In 2021–22, he played 80 games and averaged 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists. That Charlotte season combined scoring, frontcourt rebounding and a passing contribution. The rise from single-digit rookie scoring to a larger offensive workload explains his role more clearly than an isolated dunk or scoring outburst.
