Tom Thibodeau, Mikal Bridges had 'productive' meeting to clear the air ahead of Knicks' win
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau asked to meet with Mikal Bridges before Wednesday's overtime win against the Trail Blazers, looking to clear the air over the small forward's comments regarding starters' minutes, sources familiar with the situation told SNY's Ian Begley.
Sources described the meeting as "productive."
Bridges is averaging a career-high 37.8 minutes per night in his first season since being acquired from the Nets.
He is one of three Knicks who currently sit in the top-10 in the league in total minutes on the year with Jalen Brunson (2,162; 10th) and Josh Hart (2,307; 2nd) joining him.
The 28-year-old argued that giving the bench unit more playing time could help keep them fresh.
“Sometimes it’s not fun on the body,” he told Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. "We’ve got a lot of good guys on this team that can take away minutes. Which helps the defense, helps the offense, helps tired bodies being out there and giving up all these points. It helps just keeping fresh bodies out there."
The head coach countered that a conversation with Bridges did not take place and defended his minutes distribution.
“We never had a conversation about it,” Thibodeau said. “The facts are the facts. When you look at our team, and the way it works, Jalen plays 35 minutes, and I think he’s 20th or 21st in average minutes played. [Karl-Anthony Towns], who is a primary scorer, plays less than Jalen. He’s like 25th in the league in average minutes."
MSG Network's Mike Breen first noted on Wednesday night's broadcast that the two had talked before the game, and cameras caught the two chatting during the matchup.
No. 17 BYU rides barrage of 18 3-pointers to ninth straight win, Big 12 Tournament semifinal game
BYU coach Kevin Young still remembers the day then-Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie pulled the up-and-coming assistant into a conference room and showed him what amounted to a heat map of 3-pointers. After moving onto the Phoenix Suns, then landing the head job at BYU last April, the 43-year-old Young found himself on the sideline at his first Big 12 Tournament on Thursday. It was the best spot in the building to watch his No. 17 Cougars go 18 of 36 from beyond the arc, setting a tourney record for made 3s, and rally for a 96-92 victory over No. 12 Iowa State.
Union, Chick-Fil-A pair up for promotion: ‘Corner Kicken for Chicken'
Union, Chick-Fil-A pair up for promotion: ‘Corner Kicken for Chicken' originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Piggybacking on the popularity of the Sixers’ wildly popular “Bricken for Chicken,” the Philadelphia Union has partnered with restaurant chain Chick-Fil-A for a promotion of their own.
The current top team in the Eastern Conference (3-0-0) today announced “Corner Kicken for Chicken,” which will continue through the 2027 MLS season.

For those unfamiliar with “Bricken for Chicken,” Sixers fans were rewarded with chicken nuggets when a Sixers’ opponent misses two free throws during the second half of every home game. If it happens multiple times in the same game, the amount of nuggets increases: Five for one instance, then eight, then an even dozen.
Similarly, for the Union’s “Corner Kicken for Chicken,” (as you could probably guess by now) fans score nugs if the Union score from a corner kick. And just like the Sixers, the more they score, the more nuggets for fans.
Fans can claim the offer on the Chick-Fil-A app until 10:30 a.m. the day after the Union’s game, and one claimed, they have three days to redeem.
