A month after New York Knicks wing Josh Hart surprised many around the league by opting into his $12.9 million contract option for the 2023-24 NBA season, it appears the former Portland Trail Blazer is still due for a pay raise in the Big Apple.
Hart is expected to sign a multi-year contract extension in August around the range of four years, $75 million, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News.
These numbers, just shy of $19 million per year, fall more in line with estimates of what Hart would’ve received on the open market had he opted out of the player option and tested free agency.
