The Knicks have requested and received permission to talk to Minnesota assistant Pablo Prigioni about a spot on newly hired Mike Brown’s staff.

The news was first reported by SNY, and confirmed by The Post via league source.

Prigioni, 48, is a former point guard who has developed a good reputation in NBA circles for his acumen.

The Argentine played in the Garden from 2012-15, actually setting an NBA record as the oldest rookie in league history when he debuted with the Knicks at 35.

He also served as an assistant coach with the Brooklyn Nets in 2018-19.

Prigioni has been with the Timberwolves since leaving Brooklyn. But he could be making his return to New York, with Brown asking for and getting permission to speak with him for a role on his new staff.
