Trump Expected to Attend NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden

President Donald Trump is expected to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden on June 8, according to a source familiar with the plans. The New York Post first reported this news. This game marks the Knicks' first appearance in the NBA Finals in 27 years, following their victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks last reached the Finals in 1999, losing to the Spurs. The current Spurs team features Victor Wembanyama, the 22-year-old Western Conference Finals MVP. Trump has indicated he was invited to attend the Finals by several individuals, including Knicks owner James Dolan. He previously expressed interest in attending Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals before the Knicks concluded the series early. Trump's attendance would mark the first time a sitting U.S. president has attended an NBA Finals game. The Knicks will host Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden on June 8 and June 10, respectively, with a potential Game 6 on June 16.
