Bridges jammed his wrist Wednesday trying for a dunk as he drove the lane and was fouled in the second quarter of theEarly indications are that Bridges avoided any trouble, but he was flexing his left arm throughout the rest of the first half, when he went 1-for-2 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line.“It was just bothering me a little bit,” Bridges said. “Just shaking it off. Not at all [a lingering concern].
He poured in 27 points Wednesday, including several big shots down the stretch to prove his health and continue a remarkable start to his Nets’ career. Mikal Bridges, who scored 27 points, drives around Jalen Green during the Nets’ 123-114 win over the Rockets.“Everything seems to be OK from the quick synopsis I get from the [medical] group when we walk in together,” head coach Jacque Vaughn said. “I think he was trying to dunk that ball extremely hard with his left hand. That got it in position to start shaking that thing a little bit. So far, so good.”“He’s a tough dude,” Royce O’Neal said. “If he can walk and run, he’s going to play.
“That’s where the two — Junior and Senior. — [are similar]: The size and ability to handle the ball and play inside-outside.”When Vaughn revealed Tuesday the team’s plan to shut down Simmons, who hasn’t played since Feb. 15 because of knee and back injuries, he had not yet talked with the point guard. That had changed by Wednesday.
