Knicks Acquire Mikal Bridges Amid Shooting Struggles

The New York Knicks made significant offseason moves, acquiring Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, aiming for a championship run. Bridges, however, has struggled with his shooting form, going 0-for-10 from three-point range in a recent preseason game, and posting a dismal 2-of-19 across four games. Despite his previous success as a three-point shooter, averaging 37.5% in his career, Bridges has admitted to tweaking his shot, which has raised concerns about his performance. Analysts and fans alike are questioning the adjustments, especially given the hefty price the Knicks paid in draft picks to secure him from the Brooklyn Nets. With the opening game against the defending champion Boston Celtics approaching, the Knicks hope Bridges can regain his form and contribute effectively. The pressure is mounting as the Knicks look to validate their bold offseason strategy.
