President Donald Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office at the White House on June 3, 2026. Trump is reportedly planning to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.
President Donald Trump is expected to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, adding another layer of national attention to the New York Knicks‘ first Finals home game in 27 years.
According to a June 3 report from The Athletic, four league sources briefed on the plans said Trump intends to be in attendance when the Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs in one of the most anticipated games New York has seen in decades.
If his schedule remains unchanged, the visit would mark a rare presidential appearance at an NBA game and place an even brighter spotlight on an already historic night at Madison Square Garden.
