During a Madison Square Garden ceremony, Knicks players received their championship rings and raised the banner, while assistant coaches did not, with a plan to distribute rings at a later date. Reports indicate the team informed assistants before the event that rings would arrive separately, mirroring a recent pattern seen with the Oklahoma City Thunder after their 2025 title. Meanwhile, MSG staff were meant to choose a design for a complimentary employee ring, but an emailed invitation turned out to be a phishing test, with consequences including a mandatory cybersecurity training for those who clicked. The ceremony followed New York’s 2026 Finals victory over the Spurs, which ended the franchise’s 53-year drought, and the team opened its season against the 76ers.
