Trump plans to attend Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals game at MSG
What's new: The NBA believes no sitting president has ever attended an NBA Finals game, and security could slow entry around the arena.
President Donald Trump plans to attend at least one NBA Finals game next week at Madison Square Garden after receiving an invitation from Knicks owner James Dolan. Trump said he is targeting Game 3 on Monday, though he also left open the possibility of attending Game 4 on Wednesday. The Knicks took a 1-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs with a win in Game 1 on Wednesday. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league believes Trump would be the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. Silver also said the visit would require tighter security in and around the New York arena, likely causing longer transit times and added logistical hurdles for fans.
