As expected, the Dallas Mavericks have denied the New York Knicks’ request to interview Jason Kidd to be their next head coach, according to The Stein Line’s Marc Stein and ESPN’s Shams Charania. This comes on the heels of the Knicks getting rejected by the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves to interview Ime Udoka and Chris Finch, respectively.
New York is seeking a replacement for the recently fired Tom Thibodeau, who helped lead the franchise to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. The Kidd rumblings began last week, but the belief was always that the Mavericks wouldn’t grant the Knicks’ request.
More on this to come.
