Former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to attend Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals, where the New York Knicks will face the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 3. According to sources from The Athletic and the New York Post, Trump's attendance is contingent on his schedule. This visit would be historic, as he would be the first sitting U.S. President to attend an NBA Finals game, and the first president to attend any NBA game since Barack Obama in 2015. The Knicks' appearance in the Finals marks their first since 1999, uniting fans in the basketball-centric city, although Trump's presence could be contentious in the predominantly Democratic New York. Security walkthroughs have been conducted at Madison Square Garden in preparation for his visit. Trump has a history of attending major sporting events, including the Super Bowl and the Ryder Cup, during his presidency.
