The 2019–20 New York Knicks season was the 74th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Following a league-worst 17–65 record in the previous season, the Knicks had a 14 percent chance of receiving the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft.[1][2] During the NBA draft lottery held on May 14, 2019, the Knicks received the third overall pick.[3]
On December 6, 2019, head coach David Fizdale was fired by the Knicks after a 4–18 start, and Mike Miller was named the Knicks' interim head coach.[4] On February 4, 2020, general manager Scott Perry took over basketball operations duties on an interim basis after the Knicks fired president Steve Mills.[5] On March 2, Leon Rose was named as permanent replacement for Mills.[6]
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[7] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[8] On June 4, the regular season was declared over with the remaining games being cancelled when the NBA Board of Governors approved a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams returning to play in the NBA Bubble on July 31, which was approved by the National Basketball Players Association the next day.[9][10]
