In a shocking turn of events, the NBA has fined the New York Knicks a staggering $470 million following an intense investigation into conduct violations related to head coach Tom Thibodeau and alleged referee manipulation.
Sources close to the league revealed that the hefty fine comes after mounting evidence suggested improper communications and pressure tactics directed at game officials. The alleged infractions reportedly took place during several key matchups earlier this season, raising questions about the integrity of those games.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver addressed the media Friday morning, stating, “We take the fairness and impartiality of our game very seriously. No team, player, or coach is above the integrity of the sport.”
Thibodeau, who has not yet issued a public response, is expected to face further disciplinary review, including a possible suspension.
The Knicks organization, currently enjoying one of its most competitive seasons in recent years, now faces major financial and reputational consequences.
