Knicks Granted Permission to Interview Timberwolves Assistant Pablo Prigioni

The New York Knicks have received permission from the Minnesota Timberwolves to interview assistant coach Pablo Prigioni for a role on new head coach Mike Brown's staff. Prigioni, a former point guard who played for the Knicks from 2012 to 2015, is highly regarded in NBA coaching circles and has been with the Timberwolves since 2019. Known for his offensive coordination, Prigioni could fit well with Brown's coaching style. The Knicks are retaining some of their previous staff but are actively building out Brown's team, having already targeted other assistants like Riccardo Fois. While it is not yet confirmed that Prigioni will join, the Knicks' request to interview him marks an important step in assembling their coaching roster. Prigioni's unique background as the oldest rookie in NBA history and his coaching experience with the Brooklyn Nets further enhance his appeal as a potential Knicks assistant.
