The Dallas Mavericks have become the latest to rebuff the New York Knicks in their search for a new head coach.
On Wednesday morning, the Mavs firmly rejected the Knicks’ request to speak with Jason Kidd, sources told ESPN.
Kidd joins Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka and Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch whose teams have denied permission to interview with New York, sources confirmed.
Udoka and Finch are both coming off successful seasons with their respective teams, as the Rockets ended a four-your playoff drought as the West’s No. 2 seed and the Wolves made their second straight conference finals.
New York is searching for a new head coach after firing Tom Thibodeau last week in a surprising move after he led the team to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
Jay Wright, who coached three current Knicks starters when he was with Villanova, reportedly informed New York he wouldn’t be interested in the position last week.
SNY first reported the Rockets’ denial of the Knicks’ request, and podcast host Mike Francesa first reported the Wolves giving their refusal.
