Bridges extends streak after 23-second stint

Mikal Bridges' remarkable consecutive games played streak, now at 638, is a testament to his durability and commitment, even if his participation was minimal in the season finale. This streak places him among the NBA's all-time ironmen, a rare feat in a league where load management and injuries are prevalent, as evidenced by the league-wide average of 15.4 games missed per player last season. Fans will be watching to see if Bridges can continue this extraordinary streak into next season, especially given the Knicks' playoff aspirations and his crucial role.
