San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks clash in 2026 NBA Finals

2026 NBA Finals San Antonio Spurs New York Knicks Mitchell Robinson injury Victor Wembanyama MVP

The 2026 NBA Finals pits the San Antonio Spurs against the New York Knicks. The Spurs earned their spot by defeating the defending champions and rely on star Victor Wembanyama, forward Keldon Johnson and rookie guard Dylan Harper. The Knicks entered the series after an 11‑game playoff winning streak, led by Jalen Brunson, Karl‑Anthony Towns and others.

Knicks backup center Mitchell Robinson is playing with a broken metacarpal in his right hand, which has lowered his free‑throw shooting to about 30 % this postseason. Coach Mike Brown may need to limit his minutes or adjust match‑ups, especially against Wembanyama. In a separate development, the NBA 2K26 simulation released ahead of Game 1 predicts the Spurs will win the championship in six games, with Victor Wembanyama earning Finals MVP.
