Thrives in Brooklyn debut Bridges closed Saturday's 101-98 loss to the 76ers with 23 points (8-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes.
Impact Bridges led the Nets in scoring with 23 points, giving us a glimpse of what his new role might look like. The team is going to be looking for points production anywhere they can find it, possibly affording Bridges a chance to flaunt his much-improved offensive game. If everything goes according to plan, he could very well be on the way to his best fantasy season to date.

Starting in Brooklyn debut Bridges will start in his Nets debut Saturday against the 76ers, Christian Arnold of Associated Press reports.
Impact Unsurprisingly, Bridges gets the nod in his debut, as the young wing was the centerpiece in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Suns. His former Suns teammate Cameron Johnson is starting alongside him, joining Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton. Bridges figures to see more usage away from Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

Set to make Brooklyn debut Bridges (recently traded) will be available for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.
Impact Both Bridges and Cameron Johnson (recently traded) will be active for the contest, meaning fantasy managers will get their first look at the new Nets roster. Bridges appears to be a key part of Brooklyn's rebuild and should see more offensive freedom with the team than he did in Phoenix. He can be expected to slot into the starting lineup on the wing and should retain a similar workload to his season average of 36.4 minutes per game.

Considered questionable Bridges (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bridges was part of Phoenix's package to Brooklyn in exchange for Kevin Durant and T.J. Warren, but he wasn't available for the Nets' win over Chicago on Thursday. The Villanova product was in attendance for the matchup, but he sat in the stands with Cameron Johnson, as the blockbuster deal had yet to be finalized. It seems likely Bridges and Johnson will be able to suit up Saturday, but it appears their availability will still come down to a game-time decision. When cleared, Bridges figures to be a go-to player for the Nets, who'll look to find a new identity following the tumultuous tenure of Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

Dealt to Brooklyn for Durant The Nets acquired Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, unprotected first-round draft picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 and a 2028 first-round pick swap from the Suns on Thursday...
Impact While the draft capital, which reportedly includes four future first-round picks, as well as a pick swap, is the headliner for Brooklyn, the Nets also get one of the league's best three-and-D wings in Bridges. The Villanova product is averaging a career-best 17.2 points per game to go with 4.3 boards, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 threes, while shooting 38.7 percent from deep and 89.7 percent at the line. In Brooklyn, he'll step in as one of the key components of the Nets' post-Durant rebuild. That should lead to a larger offensive role down the stretch, as the Nets are left with few go-to options outside of Spencer Dinwiddie and recent breakout Cam Thomas.
