Suns' Jordan Ott not rushing Miles Bridges' return during preseason injury

Summary

Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott stated he is not pushing for Miles Bridges' return from an ankle injury suffered during preseason. Ott mentioned that Bridges' recovery is progressing well, indicating that the injury is not serious and is different from the sprains that can require weeks off. The team originally hoped to evaluate how Bridges would mesh with Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks in their first game against the Detroit Pistons. With the regular season starting on October 21, Ott believes Bridges will be ready by then, but getting him back to game speed may be a concern.
