May 31 (UPI) -- General manager Scott Perry and the New York Knicks will part ways this off-season, despite the franchise's two playoff appearances over the last three years.
Sources told Newsday, SNY and ESPN on Tuesday night that the Knicks would not extend Perry's expiring contract. Perry was hired for the role in 2017.
The Knicks went 47-35 in 2022-23, earning their most wins in a season since 2012. This year's campaign also marked just the second time the Knicks won at least 43 games in a second since 2000-01.
The 2022-23 Knicks also beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs to earn their first postseason series victory since 2012. They went on to lose to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
