The New York Knicks are actively searching for a new head coach and have interviewed three candidates, including Micah Nori, an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Mike Brown, and Taylor Jenkins. Nori has been with the Timberwolves since 2021, under Coach Chris Finch, and has experience with several teams in the NBA as an assistant. Meanwhile, Brown, previously the Kings' coach, made an impression during his last interview for the Knicks' position in 2020. Jenkins, who was recently let go by the Grizzlies, led them to three postseason appearances in his tenure, showcasing his capability as a head coach.

The Knicks parted ways with Tom Thibodeau, who led them to their first Eastern Conference finals in 25 years, in a surprising decision reflecting the franchise's high expectations. The ongoing search for a head coach has faced challenges as several teams have denied requests for their coaches to interview with the Knicks, complicating the Knicks' coaching search further.
