Overview
- Thibodeau attended Monday’s workout at the Auerbach Center and, per Jaylen Brown, led film study on how New York beat Boston in last season’s second round.
- Coach Joe Mazzulla welcomed the visit, noting Thibodeau’s past role on Boston’s 2008 title staff and saying his presence helps the organization improve.
- The Knicks fired Thibodeau in June after an Eastern Conference Finals run, and reporting says he has been visiting multiple NBA camps this fall.
- Multiple outlets, citing Marc Stein, reported the Knicks quietly gauged a pathway to pursue Mazzulla during their search before Boston signed him to a multiyear extension in August.
- New York moved on with Mike Brown and, according to SNY reporting cited in coverage, still owes Thibodeau at least $30 million guaranteed on his deal.
