The New York Knicks are planning to meet with former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown and former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins next week for their head coaching job, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The talks will mark the first stage of formal interviews for the Knicks job, and more meetings could come. Brown interviewed for the Knicks job in 2020 and made a strong impression before New York hired Tom Thibodeau.
Several teams earlier this week rebuffed the Knicks in their head-coaching search, including the Dallas Mavericks, who rejected the Knicks' request to speak with Jason Kidd on Wednesday, sources told ESPN.
