The New York Knicks have accepted an invitation from Donald Trump, following their historic NBA championship victory. The team will soon head to the White House, as further details remain under wraps. Knicks owner James Dolan shared the news in a recent interview.
Knicks accept Donald Trump’s invitation to White House
Speaking with WFAN New York on Wednesday, June 17, James Dolan, the executive chairman and CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., the owner of the Knicks, confirmed that the team has accepted an invitation to the White House.
“We just did receive an invitation from [the] White House, which we accepted,” Dolan revealed. When questioned about the highly anticipated celebration, Dolan shared, “We still have to figure out the details.”
The White House invitation comes shortly after the Knicks won their first NBA Championship in 53 years, by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals on June 13.
During the interview, Dolan also spoke about his friendship with Donald Trump. “I invited the President to come down for the game,” the Knicks owner said. He added, “He is a friend. I’ve known him for 30 years, and I’m very proud to bring the team to the White House.”
Previously, Trump’s appearance at the Knicks game against the Spurs on June 8 sparked controversy. The crowd booed the president as he enjoyed the game from a private box at Madison Square Garden, accompanied by his granddaughter Kai Trump. Many ticket holders were reportedly frustrated with the tight security measures in place at the venue for the president’s visit.
Spurs point guard also spoke out against Trump’s appearance at the game. “I think the president being here just makes it inconvenient for everybody else,” he said at the time. “We’re getting screened like it’s TSA. It’s a little inconvenient for the people that’s got to play, but it is what it is,” Fox added.
It sounds like the New York Knicks will be celebrating their NBA Championship at the White House with United States President Donald Trump.
Trump, who attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York City, is a longtime New Yorker, Knicks fan, and a friend of team owner James Dolan. So it comes as no surprise that he has already invited the team to celebrate their victory at the White House. It also comes as no surprise that Dolan, who invited him to Game 3, has already accepted on the team’s behalf.
Trump Supported the Knicks
Trump has supported the Knicks throughout their playoff run, even attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Madison Square Garden. When the team clinched the series with a win in Game 5 in San Antonio, Trump was quick to congratulate the team on social media.
“Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!!” he wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“What a year it has been but, even more so, what incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four – Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball. Also, tonight, a superstar was born. His name is Jalen Brunson, and there are others, including, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and great Patriot, Mitchell Robinson! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
While Trump has never invited an NBA team to celebrate their championship at the White House, it sounds like the Knicks are set to become the first.
Knicks Headed to White House
During an appearance on The Craig Carton Show on WFAN on Wednesday, New York Knicks team owner James Dolan confirmed that the team had received an invitation to celebrate their championship at the White House, and that invitation had already been accepted.
“We just received an invitation which we’ve accepted, still have to figure out the details,” Dolan told Carton. “I’ve known the president 30 years and I’m very proud to bring the team to the White House.”
As Dolan said, it’s not immediately clear when the team will visit the White House. In the past, however, teams have occurred when the team is in Washington, D.C. for a game against the Wizards.

Senegal centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly has aimed a dig at US president Donald Trump’s immigration policy after fans have struggled to make it to the World Cup.
Supporters from all over the world will be eager to follow the World Cup 2026 live, but Trump has previously signed executive orders imposing travel bans on certain countries, including partial bans on a number of African nations.

Although some fans, many of whom are of Senegalese origin but based in the US, were able to watch yesterday’s game against France, it’s clear that large numbers have been prevented from coming to watch their team play.
Koulibaly was not happy about this, and brought it up with the Athletic after yesterday’s game, though he was also keen to insist he was not trying to get overly political about the issue.
Kalidou Koulibaly on Senegal fans
“The federation did the work for us to have parents or our close family with us,” the former Chelsea defender told the Athletic. “But it’s true that some supporters couldn’t fly to America.
“I think that every team can have their people, so I don’t understand why people from Africa cannot have their people.
“I don’t want to speak about politics or something like this. I just want to speak about football, enjoy football, and I think football is for everybody.
“I just want to tell this and I hope that the situation will be OK, but for me the most important is that we have to play for our people.”

Most fans will surely agree that a major sporting event like a World Cup, with teams from all over the world taking part, should mean a more open policy when it comes to allowing in visitors from abroad.

There has been no shortage of uproar over the past few months over the protocols in the United States pertaining to the World Cup, starting with their immigration policies. US President Donald Trump has been defiant that he will not alter policy for the tournament, but FIFA are set to do so for him.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has defended the USA’s right to refuse entry to thousands of fans, members of Iranian team staff, and Somali referee Omar Artan, saying that they cannot dictate to the USA. This is despite the fact that he had previously guaranteed freedom of movement to the participants in the tournament.

The United States’ unique approach to hosting this tournament could continue to the very end of it too. Talksport report that FIFA will not stand in the way of President Trump being part of the World Cup trophy lift following the final. Back in 2022, there was uproar at the Emir of Qatar placing a traditional bisht on Argentina captain Lionel Messi before he lifted the trophy, which was then immortalised in photos of Messi hoisting the trophy.
FIFA protocol states that only the team will be part of the team trophy lift after being presenting with the Jules Rimet, but they will not stand in Trump’s way if he desires to hand the trophy to the winning captain, and remain there for the initial celebrations.

Trump has already been the protagonist of similar scenes last year, drawing confused looks from Cole Palmer during Chelsea’s celebrations after the Blues came out victorious in the Club World Cup last summer. In that instance, Trump remained in the group of Chelsea players after handing the trophy to Reece James as he then lifted it with his teammates.
