FILE - New York Knicks ’ Jalen Brunson looks to pass the ball during the second half of Game 5 in an NBA basketball second-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, May 14, 2024, in New York. Brunson has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth about $156.5 million with the Knicks, a person with knowledge of the details said Friday, July 12, 2024. NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson quickly agreed to extend his stay with a New York Knicks team that has been on the rise since his arrival.
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. Brunson comes off one of the best seasons in franchise history, averaging 28.7 points and finishing fifth in the voting for the NBA’s MVP award.
The Knicks hadn’t reached the second round of the playoffs since 2013 before Brunson helped them get there in his first season in New York. They nearly went even further last season, falling to the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals after Brunson broke his hand in the second half.
