How Much Money Will the Knicks Make From Their Finals Run?

The postseason push that landed the Knicks in the NBA Finals is expected to generate at least $145 million in revenue.

That figure, from Seaport Research Partners analyst David Joyce, could have been even higher; the Knicks’ sweeps of the 76ers and Cavaliers eliminated potential home games at Madison Square Garden and the revenue that would have come with them. Joyce wrote in a May 26 research note that New York’s early-series sweeps “took away” about $29 million in potential revenue for Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., the parent entity that owns the Knicks and Rangers.
