Mikal Bridges has agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the New York Knicks, his agents, Sam Goldfeder and Jordan Gertler of Excel Sports Management, told ESPN on Thursday. Bridges takes a slight discount from his max extension of $156 million
The deal includes a player option for 2029-30 and a trade kicker. Bridges is ineligible to be traded for six months post signing extension. Bridges would have become an unrestricted free agent in 2026 without the extension.
Bridges averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 37.0 minutes in all 82 games during his first season with the Knicks. Bridges was inconsistent at times as he adjusted to playing with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Knicks acquired Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets during the 2024 offseason for five first round picks and a pick swap.
