New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges has experienced a significant reduction in playing time during the early stages of the season.

The 30-year-old is averaging just 24.4 minutes per game, the lowest mark of his NBA career.

Bridges played only 17 minutes in Wednesday’s 115-107 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with two points.

Head coach Mike Brown removed him just 3:54 into the third quarter and replaced him with Landry Shamet, despite Bridges not being in foul trouble.

The forward has also struggled with his shooting, converting 32.9 percent of his field-goal attempts and 26.5 percent of his three-pointers.

The situation represents a considerable change for Bridges, who has led the NBA in minutes played three times and maintains a streak of 649 consecutive games played.

Only five players logged more total minutes than Bridges last season.
