Mamdani Blames Trae Young for Sky-High Knicks Playoff Tickets

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani joked that Trae Young is to blame for the high price of Knicks playoff tickets at Madison Square Garden, contrasting MSG’s get-in price (around $353) with cheaper Atlanta tickets as the Knicks face the Hawks. Young fired back on X, recalling past playoff clashes, while Mamdani called sports a luxury commodity. The piece also notes the Knicks’ Fan First Program, historic tensions with Young and de Blasio’s earlier remarks about his conduct during previous playoff series.

Playoff Preview: Knicks and Hawks Refresh a Storied Rivalry in a High-Stakes First Round

No. 3 seed New York hosts No. 6 seed Atlanta in a first-round clash built on a season of upheaval: the Knicks pivoted to stronger defense and improved shooting under Mike Brown, while the Hawks retooled under Quin Snyder with a faster, more ball-movement–oriented offense. The regular-season series went 2-1 in favor of New York and featured tight, back-and-forth games, underscoring contrasts in tempo and lineups. Key health notes include OG Anunoby’s ankle sprain for the Knicks and Jock Landale’s status for the Hawks as the series tips off at MSG on Saturday.

Tari Eason was also ejected in the incident.

Trae Young’s Wizards debut on deck for Thursday vs. Jazz

Trae Young is set to make his Washington Wizards debut on Thursday after being traded from the Atlanta Hawks in January. He posted a Wizards workout with “3/5” and is expected to play about 17–20 minutes, mostly in the first half, in a home game against Utah (7 ET, League Pass). Young recently played 10 games for Atlanta before knee and quadriceps injuries sidelined him, and Washington acquired him in the January deal for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.

Davis lands in Washington in eight-player Wizards–Mavericks swap

Anthony Davis is headed to the Washington Wizards in an eight-player deal with the Dallas Mavericks, sending Davis, Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to D.C. in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two future first-round picks and three future second-round picks. Davis is sidelined by a left-hand injury but won’t require surgery, with weeks expected for him to return. Washington aims to pair him with Trae Young once healthy, while Dallas builds around Cooper Flagg and weighs Kyrie Irving’s status; Russell has a player option next season, Hardy is under contract through 2026-27 (team option 2027-28), and Exum is a free agent this summer.

Hawks’ Saleh defends Trae Young trade, highlighting future flexibility and fit

Hawks GM Onsi Saleh said the team acted decisively to trade Trae Young, thanking him for his impact while praising the return of CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert as a fit for now and the future. He emphasized cap flexibility for 2026-27 and the development of a young core around players like Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, noting the deal was about long-term organizational benefit rather than holding out for a better offer. Saleh did not discuss McCollum extension talks.
