After a lengthy search, the New York Knicks are reportedly hiring Mike Brown to be their next head coach. Brown will replace Tom Thibodeau, who was fired in June despite leading the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
Brown will become the Knicks' head coach after he was fired by the Sacramento Kings midway through the 2024-25 season. Though Brown won Coach of the Year with the Kings after leading them back to the postseason in 2023 for the first time since 2006, he was unable to bring them back to the playoffs the following year and was fired after a 13-18 start last season. Even though the Kings signed Brown to a new extension worth $8.5 million per year just over a year ago, he still got fired soon after.
