The New York Knicks say they are paying close attention to what they regard as the Atlanta Hawks’ “playoff seed chicanery,” an issue that surfaced ahead of the NBA postseason, according to a report published on April 13, 2026.
Details of the alleged maneuvering were not disclosed, but the Knicks insist they will not overlook any strategy they believe could give the Hawks an unfair advantage in the upcoming playoff bracket.
No formal complaint has been filed, and the league has not commented publicly on the matter.
