Celtics' Jalen Bridges: On training-camp roster
Rotowire
Bridges has earned a spot on the Celtics' training-camp roster.
Bridges will have a chance to prove his worth while on the team's training-camp roster and throughout the preseason. He'll likely end up with the G League's Maine Celtics for the 2025-26 campaign.
Bridges is out for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets due to an illness.
Bridges has made only five NBA appearances this season, so his absence won't impact Phoenix's rotation. Bridges' next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Memphis.
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.
