For the first time in franchise history, the Knicks took on a new opponent – the desert sands of Abu Dhabi.
Sure, it’s business as usual on the court for New York as they begin their preseason with two games in the United Arab Emirates capital. After an encouraging Thursday tuneup against Philadelphia, the two teams will match up again tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.
That being said, whoever said not to mix business and pleasure clearly didn’t get to the Knicks’ coaching staff. Here’s what awaited the Knicks upon landing on Tuesday.
Yes, that’s Landry Shamet with a falcon on his arm. Check that one off the bingo card. This trip has been a social media manager’s dream. Some must see pics:
The vibes look unreal. All of this, of course, resulted in a Knicks victory yesterday; surely today’s beach day today will have similar effects on tomorrow’s game.
Your 2025-26 Knicks, ladies and gentlemen. All of this to say that if you’re not in love with this year’s Knicks by now, you will be soon.
One can only imagine that a trip like this is good for chemistry, camaraderie, and overall energy – especially for a franchise that just fired their longstanding head coach. Watching the guys smile together halfway across the globe can’t be a bad thing.
The Knicks are back in action tomorrow morning, taking on the Sixers again. Enjoy the weekend!
