Knicks Still Undecided on White House Visit

The choice will test whether NBA champions accept President Trump's invitations this term.

Overview

  • Coach Mike Brown said Tuesday that the organization is still discussing the invitation internally and has not made a final decision.
  • Owner James Dolan publicly said in June that the White House invited the team and that the Knicks had accepted that invitation.
  • The White House has confirmed it is in contact with the team and said it looks forward to hosting the Knicks at a date to be determined.
  • The team has scheduled road games in Washington on Dec. 18 and March 16, dates commonly used to arrange White House visits if the Knicks choose to go.
  • If the Knicks do visit they would be the first NBA champions to meet President Trump during his two terms, a notable break from several recent title teams that did not attend.
