While exact terms of the deal are still unknown, Charania reported that the extension will make Udoka one of the NBA’s highest-paid coaches. Udoka, 47, was one of the coaches the Knicks attempted to interview but were denied last week. He led the Rockets to a 52-win season and a two-seed in the playoffs. Udoka previously coached the Celtics, taking over for Brad Stevens in the 2021-22 season. He was suspended for the 2022-23 season for violating team policies and became the Rockets coach on April 25, 2023.

Since firing Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks have reportedly been interested in speaking with three sitting head coaches regarding their opening: Udoka, Minnesota’s Chris Finch and Dallas’s Jason Kidd. While New York reportedly has not formally requested permission to speak with Kidd, they did take that step with Udoka and Finch. According to Charania, Houston and Minnesota denied those requests. In Udoka’s case, he isn’t believed to have much interest in leaving the Rockets, who earned the two-seed in the West this season and have a young, developing roster to work with.
