The New York Knicks are not renewing the contract of assistant coach Josh Longstaff, according to a team official.

Longstaff has a strong relationship with Kristaps Porzingis and several other young players on the roster. It is unclear if there is any correlation between the organization’s decision not to renew Longstaff’s contract and its current issues with Porzingis.

Longstaff, 34, was well-respected in the Knicks’ locker room, so the decision will likely come as a surprise to players.
