Phoenix Suns forward Miles Bridges exited a preseason loss to the Chicago Bulls after rolling his ankle during the second quarter. Teammate Collin Gillespie and head coach Jordan Ott delivered encouraging updates following the game, with Gillespie noting Bridges claimed he was fine and Ott expressing hope that the setback is minor.
