Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges woke up Tuesday morning likely with a few more notifications on his phone than usual.
Well after his Suns moved to 6-0 in the bubble with a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder — and well into the night over in Florida — his name had trended in the United States.
So when Bridges checked Twitter on Tuesday morning, he fired off this message.
Broooo what ?? 😂😂😂😂😂

The replies explained what had happened overnight.
On Monday, Bridges had dropped a nice 18 points against the Thunder, a high in the bubble so far. He had a fine game for sure.

Since Mikal Bridges is trending, I just wanna remind everyone that the Sixers drafted the cities son and traded him 10 mins later for a career G-Leaguer.

Next up for Bridges and the Suns: A game against a watered-down Philadelphia 76ers team that selected the Philadelphia-born Bridges 10th overall in 2018 and dealt him to Phoenix on draft night.
