Knicks’ final farewell to David Fizdale has telling omission

PORTLAND – It took 48 hours, but the Knicks finally released a statement to commend the fired David Fizdale for his work at Knicks coach that lasted a little more than one season.

Embattled team president Steve Mills declined comment at Sunday’s practice in the Rose City, and it should be noted his name was not on the press release distributed Sunday night, as his future is on shaky ground.

The Knicks were criticized for not offering any well wishes to Fizdale in their two-sentence release Friday night after he was axed after staging one final practice.
