The New York Knicks and Tom Thibodeau have agreed to a new contract that will keep the head coach with the organization through the 2027-28 season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Thibodeau has been with the Knicks since the 2020-21 season and is entering his fifth season as coach. The team is coming off of back-to-back Eastern Conference semifinals appearances and have reached the playoffs in three of his first four years with the organization.
Across his four years, the team has registered a 175–143 record and will look to contend in the East once again in 2024-25 following the offseason addition of Mikal Bridges. New York's 50 wins last year were the best in Thibodeau's tenure with the franchise.
