Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals – the same night Mayor Zohran Mamdani is slated to be at Madison Square Garden.
New York is back in the finals for the first time in nearly three decades, with Mike Brown’s team facing the San Antonio Spurs as they chase a first championship since 1973.
The series kicks off in Texas on Wednesday night before both teams head to New York for Game 3 on Monday, June 8.
And, according to the New York Post, the president is expected to be at The Garden that night for the first NBA Finals game in New York for 27 years.
It’s claimed that staff at MSG have being stepping up security preparations ahead of Trump’s potential visit.
Trump has turned up to a number of major sporting events since returning to the Oval Office, including the Ryder Cup, US Open tennis and a New York Yankees game.
The president – a native New Yorker – recently said he was planning to attend one of the games after receiving an invite from Knicks owner James Dolan.
‘I think I’ll be going to one of the games,’ the president said. ‘I was invited by numerous people, and [Dolan], and I think I’ll be going.’
