Bridges was the only starter who played for the Knicks, who rested Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby before the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference opens the playoffs against No. 6 Detroit next weekend.

The Knicks closed out their regular season with a 113-105 win over the Nets in Brooklyn.

The Nets acquired Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks, and a 2028 first-round pick swap from the Phoenix Suns for Kevin Durant and T.J. Warren in February 2023. Bridges played in 83 games that year due to the deal, making him the 42nd player in NBA history to do so in a regular season.
