Was it three months or three years ago when the New York Knicks traded for Mikal Bridges? It feels like the latter. After a busy offseason, Knicks players are returning to the area for Media Day.
The start of the regular season is approaching, but we must make it past training camp and a few preseason games. New York walked away from the 2024 NBA Draft with four rookies, which makes the 2024 preseason far more exciting than years past. Who wouldn't want to see more of Tyler Kolek?

Details about Knicks training camp
Earlier this summer, New York Post's Stefan Bondy reported that the Knicks would return to The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., for training camp. The tradition of going to Charleston for training camp began in the 1990s, and the Knicks brought it back last year.

Knicks preseason tickets
Tickets for New York's home preseason games are more expensive than those for other teams, but they are much cheaper than regular-season tickets. Tickets for the Knicks' first home preseason game start at $66 on Vivid Seats.
New York will play its first preseason game in Charlotte. Tickets are as low as $4 on Vivid Seats. Expect Knicks fans to flood Spectrum Center yet again, even though it's a preseason game.
Why did Celtics already have their Media Day?
Boston held its Media Day on Tuesday, and Denver will hold its Media Day on Thursday. The Celtics and Nuggets will play two preseason games in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 4 and 6, so they had to have their Media Days earlier than the other 28 teams.
Knicks opening night date and time
New York will travel to Boston on Tuesday, Oct. 22 for NBA Opening Night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
