New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has agreed on a three-year contract extension that'll take him through the 2027-28 season, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Thibodeau, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year, has been at the forefront of a franchise resurgence that includes a No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs after a 50-32 mark last season. The Knicks return a team with higher expectations and expect to compete with the Eastern Conference elite.

The Knicks have reached the conference semifinals in each of the last two seasons after winning only one playoff series between 2001 and 2022, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
