New York Knicks<\/a> forward Mikal Bridges<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>, Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> and others, helped lead the Knicks to their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years last season.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 31, 2025, 06:07 PM ET New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges has agreed to a four-year, $150…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51066,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":["post-51065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
