Knicks, Julius Randle is excited for the return of the fans at MSG

The Knicks will begin allowing fans to enter Madison Square Garden starting February 23.

The Knicks “intend to host around 2,000 fans at each game,” the team said in a statement Wednesday.

On Friday, Julius Randle said he was “extremely excited” about the fans returning to the building.

“Obviously safety first,” Randle told reporters via Zoom. “We want to do what’s best for everyone and make sure everyone is safe. But getting fans back to Garden at that level is amazing and we’re extremely excited for our fan base to come to the game and feel some of the energy that we felt. So extremely excited and grateful”.
