What happened
After practice Monday, Mike Brown, Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet said the Knicks are moving from their championship run into a new season with mostly the same group, and New York will hold a ring presentation and banner raising before Tuesday’s opener against Philadelphia.
Brunson said keeping so many key players matters because the team can keep building chemistry, but he also said the first few weeks will show whether the Knicks stay hungry or settle for what they already won.
The ceremony adds extra emotion before tipoff, so New York’s early possessions may depend on how quickly the group settles in. The bigger unknown is whether the returning core translates continuity into a fast start rather than a comfort zone.
