Bridges finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Detroit.
Bridges started at power forward and scored Phoenix's first seven points before sitting out the second half with the rest of the starters. His ability to contribute as a scorer, rebounder and secondary playmaker should give him a significant role in Phoenix's revamped rotation.
