Steve Novak Joins MSG Networks as Knicks Analyst Replacing Clyde Frazier

Steve Novak, a former New York Knicks sharpshooter and fan favorite, is joining MSG Networks as an analyst this NBA season, serving as the primary backup to the legendary Walt "Clyde" Frazier. Novak, who played two memorable seasons with the Knicks from 2011 to 2013 and led the NBA in three-point percentage in the 2011-12 season, will call about a dozen games and contribute to studio coverage including pregame, halftime, and postgame shows. He replaces Jamal Crawford, who previously filled the backup analyst role but has moved on to NBC Sports. Novak expressed excitement about returning to New York basketball in this capacity, highlighting his connection to the city and the team. His broadcasting experience includes work with FanDuel Sports Network and the Milwaukee Bucks, making this a significant step into a major market during a season in which the Knicks are considered strong contenders in the Eastern Conference. Novak's debut is scheduled for a game against the Chicago Bulls on the road.
