This Thursday, winger Mikal Bridges extended his contract, with the New York Knicks, by an additional four years, according to ESPN.
Good news for Mikal Bridges. This Thursday, Espn announced that the winger (1.98m, 28 years old), who had joined the NBA franchise of the New York Knicks, in the summer of 2024, from Nets, with a contract which expired in 2026, extended its lease of four additional seasons, for a total sum of around 150 million dollars. It is not the maximum salary, set at 156 million.
Like Jalen Brunson, a year ago, Bridges agreed not to touch him. So here he is linked to his frankness until 2030, even if the last season is, for him, an option. In the last regular season of the prestigious basketball league, New York finished in third place in the Eastern Conference ranking.
Bridges cannot be transferred in the next six months
During the play-offs, the Knicks then released the Pistons de Detroit (4-2) then the Celtics of Boston (2-4), before falling, during the conference final, against the Pacers of Indiana (2-4). New York had not played a conference final for 25 years. Throughout this exercise, Bridges, former resident of Phoenix and Brooklyn and who will celebrate his 29th birthday on August 30, was one of the important men of this franchise, turning, on average, at 17.6 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds in the regular season then 15.6 points during the play-offs. In the new contract of the winger, it is also indicated that it cannot be “transferred” within six months of this contract extension.
