The New York Knicks say more than 275 employees will receive championship rings worth over $3.7 million within four to six weeks.

The New York Knicks said Saturday that more than 275 employees will receive championship rings worth over $3.7 million in four to six weeks. The announcement sought to address what the team called 'misinformation' over the distribution of rings earned after winning their first title since 1973. Madison Square Garden said the plan had always included distributing rings to people in the organisation who were part of last season's success.

Players were awarded their rings on Tuesday before the Knicks opened the season against Philadelphia. The Athletic reported later in the week that assistant coaches had not received theirs, prompting Madison Square Garden to respond on Friday. The venue also conceded that using an email about ring selection to train staff about cybersecurity was a mistake, though it said 'reminding our employees to protect our IP was not'.
