Brown will get to choose his lead assistant as Bondy reported Tuesday that Jalen Brunson’s dad, Rick, has accepted a lesser role than the one he held under Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last month after the Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Assistants Darren Erman, Mo Cheeks and Mark Bryant are expected to remain on Brown’s staff as holdovers from Thibodeau’s tenure.
