US EditionMikal Bridges Agrees to a $150 Million Extension with the Knicks, AP Source Says
NEW YORK, JUL 31 – Mikal Bridges agreed to a $150 million extension with a player option, taking a slight pay cut to help Knicks maintain salary flexibility as he enters his prime.
- On Thursday, the New York Knicks agreed to a four-year, $150 million extension with Mikal Bridges, according to a league source and ESPN.
- Amid cap pressures under the luxury tax aprons, the Knicks front office accepted a modest discount on Bridges' contract, as `The Jalen Brunson extension last year and now Mikal Bridges, has given New York flexibility to operate under both aprons`.
- According to Shams Charania, Bridges' deal includes a trade kicker and a player option for 2029-30.
- With this extension, the Knicks have secured the Villanova trio of Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Josh Hart, and now have six core payers under contract for at least two seasons.
- Next season’s cap health improves as the extension increases odds of staying below the second apron into the future, aided by signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele this offseason.
