The Knicks are the newly crowned 2025 NBA Cup champions, but they will not be raising a banner at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks will celebrate the players’ accomplishment at Friday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers and give fans a chance to congratulate them, but a source tells SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley that the team has bigger goals in mind and is focused on winning an NBA title in June.

The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 124-113 on Tuesday night to take home the NBA Cup championship, with OG Anunoby leading the team with 28 points.
Point guard Jalen Brunson was named 2025 NBA Cup MVP, as he led all scorers with 33.5 points per game while averaging 6.5 assists and shooting 55 percent from the floor during NBA Cup play.
The Knicks’ most recent banner celebrates the 2012-13 Atlantic Division championship, with the 1998-99 Eastern Conference champion banner before that. The Knicks’ most recent NBA Championship banner, of course, is from the 1973 season.
The two previous winners of the NBA Cup, the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, both hung banners to commemorate the tournament win.
