The firing marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Knicks, who are looking for fresh leadership. As the process unfolds, here are the latest odds on who might take on the role:

Under Thibodeau’s leadership, the Knicks secured four playoff appearances, including a trip to the Eastern Conference finals this season, where they were defeated in six games by the Indiana Pacers.

This was the Knicks’ first Eastern Conference finals appearance since the 1999-2000 season, also against the Pacers, and they again fell short.

Thibodeau concluded his tenure with a regular-season record of 226 wins and 174 losses, and a playoff record of 24-23.

Michael Malone was previously the head coach of the Denver Nuggets, leading the team to multiple playoff appearances and winning the NBA championship in 2023. Meanwhile, Johnnie Bryant, the associate head coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers, is cited as a potential replacement and is among the finalists for the role in Phoenix as well.
