CSL confirmed that the New York Knicks have agreed to sign Jent to be the team’s new associate head coach under new head coach Mike Brown. Jent was also on Brown’s staff in Cleveland from 2006-2010, and stayed on an extra year after Brown left in 2011. As a player, Jent played in New York for one season from 1996-97.

Charlotte will be without one of its top player development minds as Chris Jent joins Mike Brown’s staff in New York.

The Knicks pursued Pacers assistant Mike Weinar for that spot, according to SNY, before he opted to stay with the NBA finalists under head coach Rick Carlisle. That came after the Knicks already had failed to land assistants like the Timberwolves’ Pablo Prigioni, the Mavericks’ Jay Triano or the Pelicans’ James Borrego.
