New York — The New York Knicks said Sunday, May 31, 2026, that their preparation for the NBA Finals goes well beyond devising a plan to contain San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.
Team members emphasized they “can’t sleep on” the rest of San Antonio’s roster, noting that the Spurs’ supporting cast has been a decisive factor in the Western Conference champion’s run to the championship round.
Coaches and players indicated that scouting reports and practice sessions this week will focus on identifying every scoring and defensive option the Spurs have placed around Wembanyama.
The Knicks, Eastern Conference champions for the first time since 1999, meet the Spurs in the best-of-seven series with the title on the line. Dates and tip-off times were still being finalized Sunday.
