Warriors, Knicks hiring new coaches to staffs

The Warriors and Knicks are adding new coaches to their respective staffs.

According to agent Misko Raznatovic (Twitter link), Golden State is hiring Nikola Milojevic to its staff after he spent the 2024/25 season with Mega Basket in Serbia.

Nikola is the son of former Warriors assistant Dejan Milojevic, who tragically passed away in January 2024 at age 46 following a heart attack. Dejan was a former star player in Europe and the longtime head coach of Mega Basket, where he coached future NBA MVP Nikola Jokic from 2012-15.

As for the Knicks, they’re expected add Charles Allen as an assistant coach, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (via Twitter).

Allen was the head video coordinator for the Jazz prior to joining Mike Brown‘s staff in Sacramento in 2022. He was promoted to be the Kings’ player development coach last fall.

Allen is the second former Kings assistant to be reuniting with Brown, New York’s new lead coach, joining Riccardo Fois.
