Suns’ Jordan Ott on Miles Bridges ankle injury: ‘We think he’s in a good place’

Phoenix Suns forward Miles Bridges suffered a right ankle injury during the second quarter of Wednesday night's preseason loss to the Chicago Bulls. Bridges left for the locker room and did not return to the game, but early reports from the team suggest the injury is not severe. Coach Jordan Ott stated that they believe Bridges is in a good place following the incident.

Suns guard Collin Gillespie shared that Bridges expressed optimism in the locker room, telling teammates he felt fine. Ott described the incident as a freak play and noted that Bridges could return quickly depending on how the ankle responds. Bridges, who joined Phoenix as a key offseason acquisition, is slated to start at power forward this season.
