The New York Knicks are firing head coach Tom Thibodeau, sources told ESPN.

Thibodeau helped the Knicks to their first Eastern Conference finals in 25 years, made the playoff in four of his five years and led the team to consecutive 50-win seasons for first time since the 1990s.

The Knicks are singularly focused on their pursuit of a championship and believe a new voice will serve as the focus for the organization's next step, sources said.
