Bobby Marks (ESPN) appeared on Sunday’s Hoop Collective podcast to discuss the Knicks’ recent blockbuster trade for Karl-Anthony Towns. While chatting, he also touched upon the Mikal Bridges contract extension.
Per Marks, New York do not plan to offer Mikal Bridges a contract extension until 2025, despite his eligibility for a two-year, $61 million extension. He explained that the Knicks prefer to wait due to trade flexibility, as Bridges’ current contract limits him to a two-year extension, but next year he could extend for four years.
Marks says around the 11:55 minute mark:
“[MIkal] will wait until next year.
