2025–26 New York Knicks season

The 2025–26 New York Knicks season is the 80th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On June 3, 2025, the Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons with the team. On July 7, the Knicks hired Mike Brown as their head coach.

The Knicks finished with a 6–1 record in the NBA Cup, winning the Cup title on December 16 by defeating the San Antonio Spurs. They are the first Cup champions to win without a perfect record since the tournament's inception. In a span from December 31 to January 19, the Knicks had a 2–9 stretch that featured two separate 4-game losing streaks, their longest streak since the 2023–24 season. Following a blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Knicks closed out the month with a 5-game winning streak, which included a 120–66 victory over the rival Brooklyn Nets, which also broke a franchise record for the largest victory margin in a regular season game.

On March 30, the Knicks clinched the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season following the Philadelphia 76ers loss to the Miami Heat.

Draft

2025–26 New York Knicks season

<table><thead><tr><th>Round</th><th>Pick</th><th>Player</th><th>Position(s)</th><th>Nationality</th><th>College / club</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>2</td><td>50</td><td>Kobe Sanders</td><td>SG/SF</td><td>United States</td><td>Nevada (Sr.)</td></tr></tbody></table>

The Knicks entered the draft with a single second-round pick, which originally belonged to the Memphis Grizzlies; the Knicks had acquired it through a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2024. The team had originally held another second-round selection, but it was forfeited due to tampering violations related to the free agency signing of Jalen Brunson, following three consecutive drafts that each featured only 58 total picks due to various teams— including the Knicks in prior years—being penalized for free agency violations. It had also traded its own 2025 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in 2024 as an exchange for Mikal Bridges. With the 50th overall pick, the Knicks selected Kobe Sanders, but immediately traded his draft rights to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for the draft rights to the 51st pick, Mohamed Diawara, and to Luka Mitrović.
