Hornacek's days with Knicks could be numbered
Head coach Jeff Hornacek is probably coaching his last several games with the New York Knicks, according to the New York Times' Marc Stein.
Stein says it's likely new general manager Scott Perry will fire Hornacek, who has one year left on his deal, and hand-pick a new coach to lead the team next season.
Hornacek is a holdover from Phil Jackson's days running the Knicks. Jackson and the Knicks parted ways over the summer after a disastrous three-season stretch.
One name that has popped up as a potential replacement is former Knicks point guard Mark Jackson. Stein also suggests former Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt, who has ties to new Knicks president Steve Mills, could be a candidate.
Hornacek has gone 57-96 since joining the Knicks. The Knicks are 26-45 this season, already eliminated from playoff contention, after losing star big man Kristaps Porzingis to a torn ACL in February.
The Knicks have gone 3-14 without Porzingis.
