New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson said he’s “excited” to play under Mike Brown, who was recently hired as the team’s new head coach.

Brown is expected to be hired as the new head coach of the Knicks following the team's best season this century.

The New York Knicks have confirmed the hiring of Mike Brown as the team’s new head coach. Brown, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year, replaces Tom Thibodeau, who was fired by the Knicks last month after guiding the franchise to its deepest playoff run in 25 years.
