Overview
- At Monday’s session at the Auerbach Center, Thibodeau reviewed film from last season’s Knicks–Celtics playoff series and addressed the team, according to Jaylen Brown.
- Brown said Thibodeau detailed how New York targeted Boston’s personnel and outlined specific approaches for him and Jayson Tatum, while conferring with coach Joe Mazzulla.
- Mazzulla welcomed the visit, calling Thibodeau’s perspective valuable and noting his prior role on Boston’s 2008 championship staff.
- Thibodeau, fired by the Knicks after the 2024–25 season, has been visiting multiple NBA camps as he evaluates next steps.
- The Knicks eliminated Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, and separate media reports say New York remains on the hook for Thibodeau’s pay and that Mazzulla received a multiyear extension in August, with some outlets suggesting it could run six years.
