In a blockbuster move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NBA, Giannis Reggie Miller, widely regarded as one of the premier shooting guards of his generation, has officially agreed to a four-year, $190 million contract extension with the New York Knicks.
The deal, confirmed by multiple league sources early Sunday morning, solidifies Miller’s future with the Knicks through the 2029 season, marking one of the richest contracts in franchise history.
“This is home,” Miller said in a brief statement released by his agent. “I’m excited to keep building something special here in New York and bring a championship to this city.”
A Legacy in the Making
At just 29 years old, Giannis Reggie Miller has already cemented his legacy with career averages of 26.7 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. Known for his explosive scoring, deep-range shooting, and clutch performances, Miller has been the heart and soul of the Knicks’ resurgence over the past three seasons.
He was instrumental in leading New York to the Eastern Conference Finals last year, earning All-NBA First Team honors and finishing third in MVP voting.
A Strategic Move for the Knicks
Knicks President Leon Rose called the extension a “critical step in our pursuit of a championship.”
“Giannis is not just a superstar — he’s a leader, a competitor, and the ultimate teammate,” Rose said. “We’re committed to winning, and this move proves that.”
The deal reportedly includes a player option in the fourth year and several performance-based incentives.
Reaction Around the League
NBA players, analysts, and fans quickly took to social media to express their thoughts on the signing. Former Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony tweeted, “Giannis Reggie Miller staying in NYC. The Garden stays lit.”
Analysts believe the extension could shift the balance of power in the Eastern Conference, especially as New York continues to pursue complementary talent during free agency.
What’s Next for the Knicks?
With Miller locked in long-term, the Knicks are expected to be aggressive this offseason. Rumors are already circulating about potential trade targets and free-agent signings aimed at supporting their franchise star.
For now, though, Knicks fans can celebrate: Giannis Reggie Miller is staying in the Big Apple.
