Fresh off an Eastern Conference finals berth, the New York Knicks are in search of a new head coach.
The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday after five seasons.
And with that, the hiring process begins in the Big Apple.
Let’s check out the odds for who will land the job at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 3.
Knicks next head coach to start 25-26 regular season
Michael Malone: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)
Johnnie Bryant: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Jay Wright: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Mike Budenholzer: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Rick Brunson: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Monty Williams: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Taylor Jenkins: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
John Calipari: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Dan Hurley: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Under Thibodeau, the Knicks made four playoff appearances in five seasons, including that trip to the East finals this season, where they lost in six games to the Indiana Pacers.
The Knicks had not made it to the Eastern Conference finals since the 1999-2000 season, where they also lost to the Pacers in six games.
Thibodeau had an overall regular-season record of 226-174 as head coach of New York. He was 24-23 in the postseason.
At the top of the oddsboard to replace Thibodeau is Michael Malone, who most recently coached the Denver Nuggets but was fired on April 8, with three games left in the 2024-25 regular season.
Malone served as head coach of the Sacramento Kings during the 2013-14 season, and lasted just 24 games into the 2014-15 season before being fired. He then arrived in Denver for the 2015-16 season and remained with the franchise for the last 10 seasons.

Malone helped the Nuggets make six straight playoff appearances from 2018-2024, winning an NBA title in 2023.
Second on the board is Cleveland associate head coach Johnnie Bryant, who is reported to be one of two finalists to land the head coaching job in Phoenix.

Giants drafting Jaxson Dart ‘doesn’t change anything,’ says Russell Wilson
<!--> Russell Wilson knows he's not the future. Not at this point in his career. The New York Giants hope that'll be Jaxson Dart.For now, though, Wilson is the No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart — and he fully expects to remain there when the season starts.Still, all eyes during offseason practices are on Dart, the big-armed first-round draft pick from Ole Miss."It doesn’t change anything at all," Wilson said of his approach after the Giants' sixth practice of organized team activities Thursday. "I think the biggest thing for me is just being my best every day, leading. I always think about just leading everybody, just leading every room, every moment, every time I get to step between the white lines and the opportunity of that."New York signed the 36-year-old Wilson, who's entering his 14th season, in March to […]
Confira a escalação da seleção brasileira para a estreia de Carlo Ancelotti
A CBF divulgou a escalação oficial da seleção brasileira para o jogo contra o Equador, nesta quinta, às 20h, em Guayaquil, pelas Eliminatórias da Copa de 2026. O 11 inicial da partida que marca a estreia de Carlo Ancelotti no comando é: Alisson, Vanderson, Marquinhos, Alexsandro e Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães e Gerson; Estêvão, Richarlison e Vini Jr. A escalação não chega a ser uma surpresa. A dúvida que fica é sobre como estes jogadores se organizarão em campo. Com três atacantes, o time pode jogar num 4-3-3 clássico, num 4-4-2 (com Estêvão de meia) ou num 4-3-1-2, estilo muito usado por Ancelotti no Real Madrid. A CBF divulgou também que Marquinhos será mantido como capitão. Havia dúvidas se a volta de Casemiro, homem de confiança de Ancelotti, não receberia a braçadeira. Mas o treinador procurou ouvir os jogadores […]
NWSL approves intra-league loans and increases spending resources for expansion teams
In a rare midseason change to its rules, the NWSL announced authorization for teams to loan players within the league effective immediately. The announcement coincided with guidance on the roster-building mechanisms applicable to the impending launches of Boston Legacy FC and Denver NWSL in 2026.With this change, teams may now loan players to another NWSL club beginning with the upcoming secondary transfer window, which runs from July 1 through August 25. The loans will not impact a player’s annual salary, with part of the negotiation process determining how much of their wages will be covered by the club acquiring the player. Teams loaning in a player must, at a minimum, meet the league’s minimum salary threshold on a prorated basis.No loan may be completed without the involved player’s approval, which is the same for any trade in the league under […]
