Nets' Mikal Bridges drops eye-opening admission on what 'hurt' him in 2023-24 season

While Bridges' Nets teammates shared the misery of the letdown season, none of them shouldered his expectations.

As the struggles mounted, he drifted further into the background of Brooklyn's offense. While he briefly touched on changes to Brooklyn's offense and greater attention from opposing defenses this season, Bridges focused primarily on his mental struggles when discussing his regression.
