New Knicks contract
Brunson waives over 100 million dollars
Basketball star Jalen Brunson has extended his contract with the New York Knicks ahead of schedule and voluntarily waived over 100 million dollars. The 27-year-old playmaker agreed a four-year contract with the NBA team from the 2025/2026 season, which, according to media reports, will earn him 156.5 million dollars (143 million euros).
If Brunson had only extended his contract a year later, it would have been 269.1 million dollars (246 million euros) for five years.
"Willingness to make sacrifices"
Brunson waived the higher-paid contract to give his team more leeway to sign other players. "Since Jalen joined us two years ago, he has consistently led by example and continues to show a willingness to sacrifice for this organization, his teammates and everyone in the Knicks family," said Knicks President Leon Rose. Brunson is a fan favorite in New York and wants to win the Knicks' first NBA title since 1973.
