Knicks Push Back Against NBA's Investigation of Rick Brunson's Promotion

The New York Knicks accuse the NBA of harassment over a rumored investigation into Rick Brunson's elevation to lead assistant coach.

The NBA is reportedly investigating the promotion of Rick Brunson, father of Knicks player Jalen Brunson, to lead assistant coach.
The Knicks claim the investigation is retaliatory, stemming from their opposition to certain NBA policies.
Rick Brunson's promotion followed his son's signing of a team-friendly contract extension, raising suspicions of cap circumvention.
Knicks ownership has previously clashed with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver over issues like revenue sharing and media rights.
The team was already penalized for tampering in Jalen Brunson's free agency, losing a future second-round draft pick.
