The wait is finally over. Well sort of, but not really. New York Knicks basketball is upon us as the Knicks (0-0) prepare to launch their 2023 preseason tonight at Madison Square Garden against the extensively retooled Boston Celtics (1-0).
While both the Celtics and the Knicks succumbed to playoff defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat in consecutive postseason rounds, this new Celtics team arriving in town tonight looks very different from the Celtics who left the TD Garden last May. The Knicks still look like… the Knicks.
