The New York Knicks are signing coach Tom Thibodeau to a three-year contract extension, ESPN reported Wednesday.
No financial figures were available for the deal, which will run through the 2027-28 season, per the report.
The Knicks were the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs after finishing last season with a 50-32 record. In four seasons with New York, the 66-year-old Thibodeau has a 175-143 record in the regular season, 14-15 in the playoffs.
The Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals — their second straight appearance in the round. New York has reached the playoffs in three of Thibodeau’s four seasons.
He previously coached the Chicago Bulls (2010-15) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (2016-19) and has a cumulative record of 527-389.
Thibodeau was the NBA Coach of the Year in 2020-21, 10 years after he won the honor for the first time with the Bulls.
