ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- New York Knicks assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's title ceremony, with some being handed empty boxes due to not yet being fitted for the rings.
- The coaches expressed feelings ranging from annoyance to anger over the delay in receiving their rings.
- Several Knicks business operations employees and Madison Square Garden staff fell victim to a phishing scam involving a fake email about employee championship rings and will not receive rings.
- The phishing email led employees to a mandatory cybersecurity class after they clicked a link, as part of a security test.
- MSG Sports declined to comment on the ring situation, and a similar delay in ring distribution occurred for the Oklahoma City Thunder after their 2025 title.
