Sources have indicated that permission to speak with Udoka would likely be rejected if requested. The Rockets seem committed to keeping Udoka, who has been instrumental in the team's recent success, including a 52-30 record in the 2024-2025 season, their first 50-plus-win season in six years.

The Knicks fired Thibodeau on Tuesday, three days after their Eastern Conference finals exit against the Indiana Pacers. Knicks president Leon Rose cited the team's failure to reach the NBA Finals despite significant roster investments as a key reason behind the firing.
