Knicks assistant coaches reportedly not given rings on ring night, staff hit with Ring phishing scam

New York Knicks assistant coaches reportedly received empty boxes instead of championship rings during the team's opening-night ceremony at Madison Square Garden. According to a report by The Athletic, seven league sources confirmed that the assistants were not awarded rings, having learned earlier that day they would not receive them as they had not yet been fitted.

Additionally, Madison Square Garden staff members did not receive rings and were instead subjected to an internal cybersecurity phishing test depicting championship rings. Employees who clicked the link were enrolled in cybersecurity training. Kurt Helin notes that team owner James Dolan has yet to pay for the coaches' rings.
