Mikal Bridges will revert to his Villanova digits upon his New York Knicks debut.
The newly-minted Knick announced on Monday that his first blue-and-orange jersey will bear the No. 25, reverting to the digits he previously wore as a Villanova Wildcat."Have a blessed day .. sorry for the ones that bought #1 jerseys already."
Bridges got to retain his college number for his first four NBA seasons with the Phoenix Suns, but switched to No. 1 upon his trade to the Brooklyn Nets in 2023. The Nets franchise previously retired No. 25 in honor of Bill Melchionni, a star from the team's ABA heyday. Ironically enough, Melchionni is also a native of Philadelphia who starred at Villanova, a path that Bridges embarked upon decades after the former's Wildcat heyday. Bridges got to wear No.
