Trail Blazers' Jalen Bridges: Team-high 16 points off bench
Rotowire
Bridges registered 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes in Friday's 83-79 Summer League loss to Utah.
Only three Trail Blazers players scored in double digits Friday, with Bridges leading the way off the bench while also finishing tied for the second-most rebounds on the team behind Yang Hansen (10). Bridges last saw NBA regular-season action in 2024-25, when he averaged 3.8 minutes per game across eight appearances with the Suns. He spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League, and he'll likely do so again for the upcoming campaign unless he impresses enough in training camp to earn a spot on an NBA team's 15-man roster.

Suns' Jalen Bridges: Agrees to two-way deal with Suns
Rotowire
Bridges agreed to a two-way contract with the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Suns have roughly $184.5 million in committed contracts amongst their starting five, so management will need to get creative in filling out the rest of their roster, meaning Bridges could find his way into the rotation this season. The 6-foot-7 forward is a physically gifted athlete, and he drained 42 percent of his three-point attempts during his final season at Baylor, so he has potential to develop into a 3-and-D guy for Phoenix.
