Jalen Brunson is reportedly expected to sign a four-year, $156 million contract extension with the New York Knicks this summer, according to Steve Popper of Newsday. This decision would provide the Knicks with five years of certainty, as the extension would be added to Brunson's current contract, making it a five-year, $181 million deal. Brunson is opting for this extension instead of waiting until next summer, when he could potentially sign a five-year, $270 million contract. The move is seen as a potential financial sacrifice by Brunson to help the Knicks manage their cap space. Notably, Brunson's likely being named to the All-NBA team will not affect his eligible contract extension numbers since he signed as a free agent with New York.
