Jalen Brunson agrees $156M, four-year extension with Knicks and potentially misses out on $113M

Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed to a four-year, $156.5million contract extension with the team, potentially missing out on max deal as a free agent next season. 

The 27-year-old point guard's new deal will begin in 2025-26, according to ESPN, and includes a player option after the third season, when Brunson will be 31. 

Brunson, who was named an All-Star for the first time in his career this past season, signed a four-year, $104M contract with New York back in 2022. 

He could have inked a five-year deal worth about $270M with the team, or another, had he waited until the end of the 2025-26 NBA season to test free agency.
