Head coach Mike Brown is sticking with the New York Knicks’ current starting five, even as he voices frustration over the team’s sluggish openings to games.
In a report published March 16, 2026 by the New York Post, Brown acknowledged his anger about the Knicks’ early-game struggles but said he is “not ready” to alter the lineup. The coach did not outline any immediate changes, indicating he wants the existing group to solve the problem internally.
The Knicks have repeatedly fallen behind during first quarters this season, drawing criticism and raising questions about potential adjustments. Brown’s latest comments make clear that, for now, the starting unit will remain intact as the team looks for quicker starts without a shake-up.
