Knicks and Jalen Brunson Agree to Contract Extension

The New York Knicks and All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson have agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent, Sam Rose of Creative Artists Agency, confirmed to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Friday (July 12).

"In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN --- $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year," Wojnarowski wrote on his X account.

Brunson, 27, has emerged as the Knicks' franchise player since signing with the team in 2022. New York finished second in the Eastern Conference last season and fifth during the 2022-2023 season, having previously only made one playoff appearance in nine seasons. The two-time national champion became eligible to negotiate and sign the maximum extension on Friday in adherence with NBA league rules.
