Former Spartan Miles Bridges made his presence known in his first game back in nearly two weeks on Saturday — dropping 30 points and grabbing 5 rebounds in a narrow overtime loss vs. the New York Knicks.
Bridges was forced to miss that last six games due to league healthy and safety protocols. Bridges finished the game hitting 12-of-21 shots from the field, including 5-of-12 from three-point range.
