Tom Thibodeau Contract Extension Through 2028

Tom Thibodeau has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the New York Knicks, extending his tenure through the 2027-28 season. This follows his successful leadership, taking the Knicks to the postseason in three of his four seasons, including back-to-back Eastern Conference semifinal appearances. Thibodeau's demanding style has revitalized the Knicks, making them a top contender in the Eastern Conference, evidenced by their 50-32 record last season. This extension is part of a strong offseason for the Knicks, which also saw them trade for Mikal Bridges and secure long-term deals for OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson. Thibodeau, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year, ranks fifth in franchise coaching victories. His new contract is expected to be worth $10 million annually, reflecting the high market value for successful NBA coaches.
