Jalen Brunson quickly agreed to extend his stay with a New York Knicks team that has been on the rise since his arrival.
Brunson signed a four-year contract extension with the Knicks on Friday that a person with knowledge of the details said was worth about $156.5 million.Brunson could have earned a much bigger deal by waiting a year, but chose the extension on the first day it was available to him in a move that provides a financial benefit to a Knicks team that the point guard has led to the second round of the playoffs in both seasons in New York.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.
The Knicks did not reveal terms of the deal, but they were confirmed to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity. They were first reported by ESPN, with Brunson's agent telling the organization his client chose the extension over a five-year, $269 million contract he could have received as a free agent in 2025.
That was far more than expected when the former second-round pick signed with the Knicks in 2022, with critics wondering if a player who had mostly been a backup in Dallas was worth more than $100 million.
