Jalen Brunson says Knicks haven't discussed visiting White House yet

One month after Knicks owner James Dolan said the franchise had “accepted” a White House invitation to celebrate the team’s NBA championship, Finals MVP Jalen Brunson said the visit has not yet been discussed. Brunson told Variety in an interview published Monday that “we actually haven’t discussed it as a team,” adding that people are making assumptions while the team plans to “cross that bridge” later. Dolan’s earlier remarks came during a June 17 interview with WFAN, when the 71-year-old said an invitation was received and accepted, but details still needed to be worked out. If the Knicks visit, they would be the first NBA champions to do so during President Donald Trump’s term. Previous outcomes include the Oklahoma City Thunder declining last year due to a “timing issue,” while earlier champions visited under President Joe Biden.
