Mikal Bridges couldn’t rewrite his painful Knicks narrative with Game 2 in balance
NY Post
Mikal Bridges carried the weight of five first-round picks when he left the ground.
All season, he buckled under those expectations. But here was Bridges’ chance Monday to come up with the big shot, to redirect the conversation about his season — to change those disappointing first impressions as a Knick, to forget about those five first-round picks.
But just like Bridges’ season, that jumper fell short in the final seconds with a three-point deficit.
Predictably short.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
