Knicks have third head coach candidate as Micah Nori interviews for job
NY Post
A third interview candidate has emerged for the Knicks’ coaching opening.
Minnesota assistant coach Micah Nori became the third person to discuss the vacancy with the Knicks earlier this week, joining former head coaches Taylor Jenkins and Mike Brown, a league source confirmed to The Post.
ESPN first reported the Knicks’ interest in the 51-year-old Nori, who had been with the Timberwolves since 2021.
He previously served as an assistant with the Raptors, Kings, Nuggets and Pistons.
The Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau on June 3, days after they were eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.
They since have been rebuffed by opposing NBA teams in efforts to speak with several current head coaches, including Dallas’ Jason Kidd, Houston’s Ime Udoka, Minnesota’s Chris Finch, Atlanta’s Quin Snyder and Chicago’s Billy Donovan.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
