Mikal Bridges could follow Jalen Brunson’s lead with Knicks contract discount
NY Post
Mikal Bridges followed Jalen Brunson to the Knicks.
Now, will he also take less money like Brunson to remain on Broadway?
A report on Monday suggested that possibility — noting that Bridges will sign an extension leaving money on the table.
As soon as Oct. 1, the 6-foot-6 wing can sign an extension with the Knicks, or wait to ink a four-year deal after the season for as much as $156 million.
This fall, he can extend for two years at a total of $72.5 million.
NBA reporter Marc Stein, citing league sources, reported that Bridges is likely to follow Brunson and agree to a team-friendly deal.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
