Knicks announce enhanced security measures for fans with Trump attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals
MSG will use TSA-style screening and a no-bag policy, with fans urged to arrive two hours early after a watch party drew 26 arrests.
- President Donald Trump will attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday, where the New York Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs at the invitation of franchise owner James Dolan.
- The Secret Service and Madison Square Garden are implementing strict security measures, including a no-bag policy and "TSA-style screening procedures," mirroring precautions Trump required at previous sporting events like the Super Bowl and Daytona.
- Attendees should anticipate hard street closures surrounding the Garden, with officials urging fans to arrive at least two hours before tip-off; resale ticket prices on StubHub have soared to $10,000 as of Saturday night.
- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he was "thrilled" the President would attend, emphasizing sports can unify "our increasingly divided society," while New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged fans to "celebrate responsibly."
- The Knicks aim to extend their series lead after winning two games in San Antonio, marking their first Finals appearance in 27 years, as Trump has not ruled out attending Game 4 on Wednesday.
