Mikal Bridges Signs $150M Extension to Anchor Knicks’ Future

Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks)
July 2025

Mikal Bridges has signed a four-year, $150 million extension with the Knicks, choosing long-term team stability over a potential $156M+ deal by waiting until 2026. He remains under contract through the 2028-29 season. Bridges, acquired for five first-round picks, took a slightly reduced deal to keep cap flexibility. Known as the NBA’s “iron man,” he’s played every game of his career and averaged 17.6 PPG last season while anchoring the Knicks’ defense.
