New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges has agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the franchise, his agents, Sam Goldfeder and Jordan Gertler of Excel Sports Management, told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Thursday.
The deal includes a player option for 2029-30 and a trade kicker. By completing this new contract, Bridges takes a slight discount from his max extension number ($156 million) to help the Knicks maintain flexibility to continue building the roster. Bridges, along with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and others, helped lead the Knicks to their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years last season.
Bridges averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists while playing all 82 regular-season games for the Knicks last season. The durable Bridges has never missed a game in his career and was the only player to play at least 3,000 total minutes last season, averaging a career-high 37.0 per game.
