The Knicks have put their ‘guard’ down.Malcolm Brogdon, once the steady hand in the Knicks’ backcourt, stunned the basketball world when he announced his retirement after nine seasons in the NBA. Though he had just signed a one-year deal with the New York Knicks, that chapter closed before it truly began.Now, though his final stint with the New York Knicks was brief, many fans are wondering: how much did he make over his career, and what might his net worth look like today? From rookie contracts to big deals in Indiana, plus endorsements and assets, let’s dig in to paint a fuller picture.Malcolm Brogdon entered the NBA in 2016 as a second‐round pick (No. 36 overall) selected by the Milwaukee Bucks. Over the years, he developed into a dependable two-way guard — capable on offense and defense — and earned respect across the league.He has played for several teams: the Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers, Washington Wizards, and briefly signed with the Knicks before retiring. This long journey is reflected in his accumulated wealth as well.
Brogdon’s salary history details a remarkable arc of the athlete: a journey from modest rookie pay to multimillion-dollar contracts. Early in his career, with the Milwaukee Bucks, he made under $3.8 million in total over three seasons. His big leap came in 2019, when he signed a 4-year, $85 million deal with the Indiana Pacers. That averages about $21.25 million per year during that stretch.In later years, his salary remained strong. In 2022-23, he earned $22.6 million under his contract extension, and in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, he made $22.5 million each year (per some sources). Across his nine seasons, Brogdon’s cumulative NBA salary earnings are estimated at around $133.78 million.Now, of course, gross earnings are different from net worth. Income must pay taxes, agent fees, living costs, and investment choices. Publicly available data on Brogdon’s assets or investments is limited, so reported net worth figures vary widely.While some sources estimate $100–150 million as a possible net worth, given his high earnings over time, others are more modest in their estimate, like $60 million (as of 2024).Meanwhile, reports of Brogdon’s real estate holdings are modest by the scale of his salary, as he reportedly holds a $5 million home in Atlanta.Because of this spread, a safe working estimate is that Brogdon’s net worth likely lies somewhere between $60 million and $130 million, depending on his spending, taxes, investments, and endorsements.
How much was he making before announcing his retirement?When Brogdon signed with the Knicks before his retirement, the contract was reported at $3.3 million for one year. But that was a modest number compared to his prior salary years, and he never played under that contract. In his final active season, 2024-25, with the Washington Wizards, he still earned $22.5 million, albeit in a limited role (only 24 games due to injuries).
