CHICAGO — David Fizdale may retain at least one of Jeff Hornacek’s assistants — Howard Eisley.
Eisley is part of the Knicks’ contingent in Chicago at the draft combine. Eisley also was on the list of top African-American assistant coaches that Fizdale compiled for The Undefeated. Eisley was a teammate of Hornacek’s with the Jazz.
When Hornacek and associate coach Kurt Rambis were fired at the Westchester Airport after landing from Cleveland in the wee hours of April 12, Hornacek’s other assistants — Jerry Sichting, Corey Gaines, Eisley and David Bliss — were kept on until further notice There could be a scenario in which Bliss is also kept, since he was a Kristaps Porzingis favorite.
