BEAVERTON, Ore. — Mike Miller completed his first practice as Knicks interim head coach Sunday afternoon, albeit a light workout after the team flew cross country and prepped to play Portland on Tuesday.
The team issued a joint statement thanking former coach David Fizdale for his service and from Fizdale giving thanks for the opportunity — 48 hours after issuing a one-line release that Fizdale was being relieved of his duties.
The statement, not attributed to any executive, read, “The New York Knicks organization would like to thank David Fizdale for his leadership and professionalism over the past two seasons.
