MSG says more than 275 employees will get rings worth over $3.7 million after the team says players received theirs at opening night.
- On Saturday, The New York Knicks announced that employees will receive championship rings in about 4-6 weeks, after players received theirs on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026.
- This announcement followed reports that Madison Square Garden used a fake email about championship rings to conduct a phishing simulation, directing staff who clicked to a mandatory cybersecurity class.
- MSG acknowledged that using the rings as a lure for the security test was "an unfortunate mistake," noting that while protecting intellectual property was necessary, the campaign choice was incorrect.
- An MSG Sports spokesperson confirmed the franchise is gifting more than 275 rings valued at more than $3.7 million to coaches, employees, and staff in recognition of their contributions.
