In a league where teamwork and camaraderie are highly valued, Brooklyn Nets’ forward Mikal Bridges has once again proven himself to be a top teammate. Bridges finished second in the voting for the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award, falling just short to veteran point guard Mike Conley of the Timberwolves.

This marks the second consecutive year that Conley has bested Bridges in the vote count, with both players receiving high praise from their peers. More than 300 players cast their votes, with Conley finishing with 1,172 votes and 51 first-place votes, and Bridges close behind with 1,041 votes and 47 first-place votes.

The Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award is unique in that it is determined by a vote of NBA players themselves. The award recognizes the player who demonstrates selfless play, on- and off-court leadership, and commitment to their team.

Despite not making the postseason this year, Bridges has continued to be a valuable asset for the Nets both on and off the court. Known for his ability to fit in seamlessly with any team, Bridges has been instrumental in helping the Nets recruit new players to Brooklyn.

Teammate Cam Johnson, who has played alongside Bridges with both the Suns and the Nets, expressed his confidence in Bridges’ abilities, noting his continued improvement and dedication to the game.

As the Nets look towards the future, they are counting on Bridges to continue to be a key piece of their roster and a leader in the locker room. With his unwavering commitment to his team and his teammates, Bridges is sure to remain a valuable asset for the Nets in the seasons to come.
