Mikal Bridges: A Villanova Reunion in New York
From College to the NBA
Mikal Bridges, a former Villanova star, is now a member of the New York Knicks after a blockbuster trade that brought him together with three of his former teammates. The 27-year-old Bridges joins Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Cam Reddish, all of whom played alongside him on the Wildcats team that won the NCAA Championship in 2016.
A Familiar Face in a New City
After spending five seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, Bridges is now crossing the East River to join his former college teammates. The Knicks have been actively rebuilding their roster, and the acquisition of Bridges is a significant step in that direction. He is a versatile forward who can contribute in multiple areas of the game.
A Villanova Reunion
With Bridges now in New York, the Knicks have essentially reunited the Villanova squad that dominated college basketball six years ago. This is a unique situation in the NBA, as it is rare for multiple players from the same college team to play together on the same professional team.
