Mike Brown sets Knicks’ regular-season expectations as adversity awaits reigning champs

New York coach Mike Brown is urging caution as his squad begins preparations for the upcoming 82-game schedule, noting that maintaining the dominant 13-1-finish from their championship playoff run is unrealistic. During recent media availability at the team facility, the manager emphasized that inevitable hardships lie ahead, pointing to last January's difficult two-win, nine-loss stretch as an example of the turbulence to expect.

Additional early obstacles include recovering star point guard Jalen Brunson dealing with offseason wrist surgery, along with unresolved contract extensions for Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and Miles McBride that could create looming uncertainty.
