New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges has etched his name into NBA history, becoming the first player to participate in two different NBA Finals without missing a single game in his career. His remarkable streak now stands at an impressive 709 consecutive games played.
On Monday night, the Knicks secured their spot in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in their playoff series.
Bridges' previous Finals appearance was in 2021 with the Phoenix Suns, where his team ultimately fell to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games.
Following his tenure with the Suns, he also played for the Brooklyn Nets before joining the New York squad.
In this year's playoffs, Bridges has averaged 14.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 14 starts.
