The Knicks will be the BayHawks’ sole NBA affiliate and will have full control over the team’s basketball operations.
“The New York Knicks’ single affiliation partnership with the Erie BayHawks marks yet another positive step forward in the NBA D-League’s continued evolution as the NBA’s official minor league,” said NBA D-League President Dan Reed. “We’re excited to welcome them to the league, and look forward to an excellent partnership between these two strong organizations.”
New York assistant general manager Allan Houston was appointed GM of the BayHawks.
The Knicks are the third NBA team to enter into a hybrid affiliation with an NBA D-League team, joining the Houston Rockets, with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and the New Jersey Nets, with the Springfield Armor.
