DEAL ACCEPTED: Jalen Brunson Inks 4-Year, $128.5 Million Contract Extension with New York Knicks — The Franchise’s Floor General is Here to Stay! ️
New York, NY – The heart and soul of Madison Square Garden is officially locked in for the long haul. Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks’ sensational point guard and rising NBA superstar, has agreed to a four-year, $128.5 million contract extension, solidifying his place as the franchise’s cornerstone and most trusted leader.
After weeks of speculation, the news Knicks fans had been waiting for has finally become reality: Jalen Brunson isn’t going anywhere.
The deal, which will keep Brunson in a Knicks jersey through the 2029 season, reflects both his meteoric rise and the immense value he brings to one of the NBA’s most storied franchises. Since arriving in New York, Brunson has done more than just put up numbers—he’s brought identity, culture, and consistent excellence back to the Garden.
> “This is home,” Brunson said during the official signing ceremony. “New York embraced me. The fans believed in me. The city challenged me to be better—and I’m just getting started.”
Brunson’s impact on the Knicks has been nothing short of transformative. Since his arrival, the team has returned to playoff relevance, and this past season, he earned All-Star honors, was awarded the 2025 Jerry West Award as the nation’s top point guard, and led New York to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in over 20 years.
Now, the Knicks are doubling down on their franchise leader—rightfully so.
Team president Leon Rose expressed his full confidence in Brunson, saying:
> “Jalen is everything we want this organization to represent—hard work, humility, and hunger to win. He’s not just our point guard; he’s the soul of this team.”
The $128.5 million deal is a significant commitment, but one the Knicks were more than happy to make. In a league where superstar loyalty is rare, Brunson’s decision to stay speaks volumes about his vision—not just for himself, but for New York basketball.
And for Knicks fans, the excitement is electric. Within moments of the news breaking, Times Square lit up with celebratory banners, and thousands took to social media with messages like “#BrunsonForLife”, “Captain of the Knicks”, and “The Garden is HIS.”
NBA insiders have praised the move as both strategic and symbolic. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted:
> “The Knicks get it done. Brunson isn’t just a top-tier PG—he’s a franchise-changer. This deal ensures New York’s rise continues.”
With Brunson now officially under contract for the foreseeable future, the Knicks can focus on building around their floor general with clarity and confidence. The message is clear: New York isn’t chasing stars anymore—they’re building them.
And with Jalen Brunson at the helm, the future of Knicks basketball is brighter than it’s been in decades.
The Garden is alive again—and its king has signed the scroll.
