President Donald Trump plans to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks will host their first Finals matchup at home in 27 years.
The game marks the franchise’s return to the championship round for the first time since 1999, ending nearly three decades without an NBA Finals appearance in Manhattan. Trump’s presence will add heightened security to an already high-profile night at the arena, which seats more than 19,000 fans.
Game 3 is the Knicks’ inaugural home contest of the best-of-seven series. The team split the first two games on the road and now seeks to capitalize on home-court advantage as the series shifts to New York.
The White House has not released additional details about the president’s itinerary, but arena officials confirmed preparations are underway to accommodate the visit.
Tip-off time and broadcast information for Game 3 remain unchanged.
