Mike Brown benches Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart in fourth quarter of Knicks’ ugly loss
NY Post
Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart, two core Knicks, were benched for at least most of the fourth quarter in Wednesday’s 124-107 loss to the Magic.
Hart didn’t play at all in the final period, the second game in a row he collected zero minutes in the fourth quarter. Bridges logged just one minute in the fourth quarter, and couldn’t explain the reason.
“I’m not sure,” said Bridges, who scored a season-low six points on 3 of 9 shooting.
Hart, who had been playing better after a bumpy start to the season, appeared frustrated after the game.
Landry Shamet, Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson all played more minutes in the fourth quarter Wednesday than either Hart or Bridges.
“I got my own stuff,” Hart, who scored 10 points in 18 minutes with three turnovers, said when asked about the apparent injury to teammate Jalen Brunson.
