The party following the New York Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years lasted all summer. On Tuesday night, the Knicks get back to business -- after one more celebratory flourish honoring a championship that was generations in the making.
The New York Knicks will raise their championship banner on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden before opening their title defense against the revamped Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks won their first championship in 53 years after defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, behind Finals MVP Jalen Brunson.
Philadelphia enters the season reshaped, having acquired LeBron James on a two-year, $8 million deal and Jaylen Brown via a trade involving Paul George. The 76ers aim to challenge the reigning champions alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, while the Knicks navigate payroll restrictions that led to Mitchell Robinson's departure and delayed contract extensions.
