Phoenix Suns wing Mikal Bridges is good to go for Sunday afternoon’s matchup in San Antonio against the Spurs after tweaking his right knee, according to azcentral’s Duane Rankin.
In the closing segment of the Suns’ loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday, Bridges came up slow after what he said was a slight hyperextension in his right knee. Bridges said afterward in the locker room that he was OK and he was listed as probable due to right knee soreness.
Bridges avoiding any missed time keeps his ironman streak alive.
