Knicks News: Surprising New Head Coach Candidate, Knicks 2025 Draft, and an Offseason Primer

Updates on the Knicks Head Coach Search

The New York Knicks’ search for a new head coach is still underway, and some names have emerged as strong candidates. As previously reported, former Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins and former Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown interviewed with New York for the vacancy last week. Sources tell Knicks Fan TV that both will return for another round of interviews this week.

Former Charlotte Hornets head coach and current New Orleans Pelicans assistant coach James Borrego has entered the ring as a new candidate for the job, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Borrego was a finalist for the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach position last summer before the team chose Kenny Atkinson.

Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori also interviewed for the position last week. Minnesota’s front office previously denied New York’s request to speak with head coach Chris Finch, but Nori is another intriguing candidate who has a relationship with Karl-Anthony Towns and Knicks’ Senior VP Gersson Rosas.

An even more surprising candidate for Knicks head coach has emerged this week as well.
