President Donald Trump plans to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday (June 8), where the New York Knicks will face the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the Knicks’ first appearance in the Finals in 27 years. The Knicks won Game 1 in San Antonio, and Game 2 is scheduled for Friday in Texas.
Trump, a native of New York, expressed his excitement about attending a game during a recent Cabinet meeting, citing an invitation from Knicks owner James Dolan. According to The New York Post, security preparations are underway at Madison Square Garden in anticipation of the president’s visit. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also plans to attend Game 3, though he is not expected to sit with Trump.
The Knicks have been on a remarkable run, sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals to secure their spot in the Finals. The team has won 11 consecutive games, outscoring opponents by a record margin.
Trump has attended several high-profile sporting events in recent years, including the 2025 Super Bowl and the 2025 U.S. Open tennis finals.
