The attack occurred the day before Game 3 of the NBA finals in New York. Madison Square Garden, home arena of the Knicks basketball team, is an exceptionally watched venue during the finals series. According to the reported information, fan interest is also reflected in ticket prices, which for the most sought-after seats reach very high amounts, while seats under the arena's roof remain expensive as well. idnes.cz ↗
Security measures ahead of Monday evening's game have also been strengthened due to the expected attendance of US President Donald Trump. Fans should expect a strict bag ban and checks similar to airport security screenings. idnes.cz ↗
Sporting attention is focused on the finals showdown at Madison Square Garden as well as on Victor Wembanyama's performance. Before the game, the French basketball player spoke about the challenge that playing in New York represents for him. Further developments will depend on the security situation around the arena and on the course of the NBA finals itself. The Guardian ↗
