The New York Knicks’ medical team has been named the NBA’s Athletic Training Staff of the Year, earning one of the league’s top honors for their outstanding work in player health, performance, and injury management. Notably, the staff includes a familiar name — one of Luka Dončić’s former trainers, whose expertise and contributions have helped guide the Knicks through a demanding season.
The award, voted on by peers across the NBA, recognizes the league’s top-performing athletic training staff for their excellence in player care, rehabilitation, and overall team support. The Knicks’ staff stood out for their comprehensive approach to player wellness and their success in maintaining a competitive, healthy roster throughout the year.
It’s a proud moment for the Knicks organization and a testament to the dedication and skill of their medical team, with the added narrative of one of Dončić’s early-career mentors now making a name for himself at the *highest level of the sport.*
