On Tuesday, Oct. 20, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart’s defending NBA champions host LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in their Philadelphia 76ers debut at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

“[They’re] going to be electric. [The 76ers] going to be definitely a team to keep your eye on. They reloaded this year,” Brunson said on NBC’s Today Show. “It’s going to be a tough test, but we’ll be ready.”

In addition to all the hoopla, Mike Brown’s club will also receive their championship rings and raise their 2025-26 banner — the team’s first since 1973 — to the rafters before tipoff.

If you’d like to be there, tickets are already available for this much-anticipated season opener.

As of now, the full NBA schedule hasn’t been announced but two other notable Knicks games were revealed today.

Following their Oct. 20 battle with the Sixers, Shamet’s squad has regular season duels with Jayson Tatum’s formidable Celtics (Friday, Oct. 23 at Boston’s TD Garden) and Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs in an NBA Finals rematch on Christmas Day at MSG.
