"Per multiple reports, the Knicks will not raise a banner for their NBA Cup championship, which they won on Tuesday night in Las Vegas with a 124-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Instead, they will hold a celebration before their regular-season matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. This makes the Knicks the first NBA Cup winner to not raise a banner. The previous two title holders, the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, raised banners in their respective home arenas."
"Star point guard Jalen Brunson echoed those sentiments just moments after Tuesday night's win, when he assured that there would be no parade in New York City. It's good having won this. It's good the way we won it, that's special as well, he said. This is great, we're going to enjoy this. But once we leave tomorrow, we're moving on."
The New York Knicks captured the NBA Cup with a 124-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Las Vegas. The team will not raise a banner for the NBA Cup championship and will instead hold a celebration before their regular-season matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks are the first NBA Cup winner to decline a rafters banner; the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers previously raised banners for the tournament. The NBA Cup is a three-year-old in-season tournament with ongoing debate over its legitimacy despite promotion by commissioner Adam Silver. The Knicks remain focused on ending a 52-year league championship drought and plan to move on after the celebration.
