Per a report by Front Office Sports' Ryan Glasspiegel, ESPN and ABC also plan to show Trump during the game's broadcast, should he be visible.
"Source tells @FOS that yes, ESPN/ABC plans to show President Trump during Game 3 of Knicks-Spurs tonight at MSG, in line with how they always show current/former presidents at sporting events. (Caveat applies – as long as he's visible for the cameras)."
Trump, in his time back in office, has appeared at several sporting events, including Super Bowl LIX, the 126th edition of the Army-Navy Game, and various UFC events. He confirmed that he would be attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals in a media availability last week.
"The answer is yes," Trump said. "[Dolan] has invited me, and I'm going. I'll be there. It could be Monday. Maybe I'll do both [Game 3 and Game 4]… "[The Knicks] find a way to do it. They're really great, a great team. I'm happy for Jim [Dolan] because Jim has really been fighting hard to produce such a team."
