Updated · 2026-27 season

Mikal Bridges is on the books for $33,482,145 in 2026-27, the 4th largest cap hit on the New York Knicks roster and 15.2% of the team's $220.9M payroll.

That ranks 54th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 20.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $150,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $33,482,145 in the first year up to $41,517,856 in the last, a 24% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 30, this contract runs through his age-33 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 4th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the New York Knicks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $220,861,653.

New York Knicks sit at $220.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$11.9M of room below the first apron.
