Story summary

LeBron James made his regular-season debut with the Philadelphia 76ers in their victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, October 24, 2026. During the game, Knicks fans chanted "We don't want you!" towards James, who had been linked to the Knicks during free agency but ultimately signed with the Sixers.

The New York Knicks faced a public relations issue when their parent company, Madison Square Garden Sports, sent out an email that led employees to believe they were selecting championship rings. Instead, clicking on the link directed them to mandatory cybersecurity training as part of a phishing simulation exercise. The company later acknowledged this was an "unfortunate mistake" and assured that over 275 individuals would still receive their championship rings worth more than $3.7 million.

Bruce Arthur's article in The Athletic highlighted the unusual circumstances surrounding the Knicks' ring ceremony, noting the absence of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver due to tensions between owner James Dolan and the league. Joe Kottke from NBC News also reported on the phishing incident, criticizing the management for their handling of employee communications during such a significant moment for the team.
