The New York Knicks will enter the 2026-27 season as reigning NBA champions. According to ESPN’s Sham Charania, the Knicks will face the Philadelphia 76ers on opening night, which till take place on October, 20. That continuity should give the Knicks a slight edge over the 76ers, both on opening night and through the season. So, assuming Brunson doesn’t run into any setbacks, Knicks fans should look forward to seeing their star player on opening night. Knicks fans will undoubtedly hope that Brunson is at, or at least near his best to begin the season.
