Mikal Bridges Eligible To Sign $72.5 Million Extension On October 1st

According to multiple reports, highlighted by Marc Stein, Mikal Bridges becomes eligible to sign a two-year, $72.5 million extension with the New York Knicks on October 1st.

The 3-and-D wing currently has two options: he can sign this contract on the first or wait until next season to be paid $112.9 million over three seasons.

Per Stein, he expects the 28-year-old to sign the $72.5 million extension with New York. However, if Bridges wanted to make more money, he could wait till the 2026 season to be eligible to sign a five-year, $297 million contract.

With all these options on the floor (pun intended), every sign points towards him signing the two-year extension.

Bridges has until the start of the season to sign this extension.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania, the New York Knicks are waiving Landry Shamet after he suffered a dislocated right shoulder.

The 27-year-old agreed to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract earlier in the offseason; many within the organization expected him to make the roster and have quality minutes. However, this injury has derailed those plans.

New York has three roster spots available; they must sign two players to meet the required 14-player roster.

When Shamet gets healthy, they will consider bringing him back.

Landry Shamet Expected To Make The Knicks Roster

According to The Athletic’s Fred Katz, the New York Knicks will most likely keep Landry Shamet on their roster after having him go through a roster battle with other players.

Since New York is up against the hard cap, they’ll only be able to get Shamet and a rookie on a minimum salary on their roster.

“I don’t make the final decision on that, but I’m basing it on what [Shamet’s] done on the floor. He’s really done well,” Thibodeau said.

Tom Thibodeau loved what he saw from Shamet and wants him on the roster. An official decision should be made soon.
