Chris Jent is heading back to New York, where he played during the 1996-97 season — this time joining the Knicks’ bench as Mike Brown’s associate head coach. According to Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets assistant is finalizing a deal with New York, with terms negotiated between the Knicks and Tyler Glass of CSE Talent. This marks a return to the franchise for Jent, who has built a lengthy coaching résumé since his playing days. Jent’s career includes assistant coaching stints across the NBA, stops in the G League, and work with college programs. His experience and familiarity with the league could provide valuable support for Mike Brown as the Knicks aim to make a deep playoff push. #NBA #Knicks #Hornets #ChrisJent #MikeBrown #NBANews #Sports
