Trump Not Expected to Attend Knicks-Spurs Game 4 at MSG: Reports
ESPN said Trump will miss Game 4 because of scheduling conflicts after his Game 3 visit triggered TSA-style screenings and a canceled watch party.
- President Donald Trump will not attend Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden, citing "scheduling conflicts and obligations," ESPN Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania reported on Tuesday.
- Trump's attendance at Monday's Game 3 prompted a strict security lockdown at Madison Square Garden, including TSA-style screening and checkpoint delays that forced cancellation of outdoor watch parties.
- Fans endured lengthy screening lines on W. 33rd St. outside the venue, while ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith blamed the president's presence for the team's disrupted "mojo" after the 115-111 loss.
- Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced Monday that watch parties will return for Game 4, offering relief to fans who faced extended security procedures during the previous game.
- The series shifts to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday, though it remains unclear whether the president will attempt to attend Game 6 at Madison Square Garden if the best-of-seven extends that far.
