A few young Knicks and coaches plan to attend the next two NBA Finals games. 

Mitchell Robinson plans to attend Game 5 of Raptors-Warriors with assistant coach Pat Sullivan, per SNY sources. And Kevin Knox, Kadeem Allen, and Allonzo Trier plan to attend Game 4 of the Finals on Friday night, a source confirmed to SNY. 

Last year, David Fizdale brought Emmanuel Mudiay, Damyean Dotson, and Frank Ntilikina to a Celtics-Cavs playoff game. He wanted to show them the atmosphere of playoff basketball. After the season, he said he intended to do the same with the young Knicks from the 2018-19 team. 

 

Knox and Trier have been working out in Los Angeles, which probably why they are attending Game 4 in Oakland. 

Robinson has been working with Knicks coaches in New Orleans and New York for the past few weeks, which is probably why he's attending the game in Toronto rather than Oakland. 

The New York Post first reported the Knicks planning to attend Game 4.
