Knicks Set to Face Spurs in NBA Finals Starting June 3

The New York Knicks have learned their matchup for the NBA Finals as they prepare to go head-to-head with the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs secured their spot by defeating the reigning champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Saturday. The first game of the Finals is scheduled to take place on June 3 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Having swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last series, the Knicks have enjoyed some time off since their victory on May 25. However, they will enter the Finals with a key injury concern. Star center Mitchell Robinson suffered a broken pinky finger on his right hand and has undergone surgery. Despite this setback, he intends to play while wearing a protective brace.

To contend with the Spurs, the Knicks will need to focus on limiting the impact of San Antonio's standout center, Victor Wembanyama. The two teams have faced each other twice this season, splitting their matchups; the Knicks took the first game 114-89 on March 1, while the Spurs edged them out in a close contest, winning 134-132 on New Year's Eve.
