Knicks fans who would like a keepsake from the recent championship run have a chance to snag one. Sotheby’s is holding an NBA Finals auction that ends on Wednesday night.
One item that isn’t up for bid: the ball OG Anunoby tipped in for the winning basket with 1.2 seconds remaining as the Knicks completed an incredible comeback from a 29-point deficit in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Anunoby ball was supposed to be part of the auction, which began on June 30, but it was pulled just before bidding could begin.
“The game ball from Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals holds significant importance to the New York Knicks, their fans, and the city, and will remain with the team as a lasting piece of franchise history,” an NBA spokesperson said in a statement.
Fans or collectors still can bid on items such as Finals MVP Jalen Brunson’s Game 1 jersey, which as of Sunday evening had a high bid of $380,000. There had been 57 bids on the item.
Overall, Sotheby’s has 35 items listed, with Brunson’s jersey by far the one with the highest top bid.
You can’t have the Anunoby ball, but his game-worn jersey from the series opener is available and had a high bid of $100,000.
Next on the price list was a Game 3 jersey worn by Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, which had a high bid of $65,000. Game 3 was San Antonio’s only victory in the series, which the Knicks took in five games for their first NBA title since 1973.
Other Knicks jerseys (all from Game 1) that are open for bids include those worn by Karl-Anthony Towns (highest bid $50,000), Josh Hart ($28,000), Mikal Bridges ($18,000), Landry Shamet ($15,000), Jose Alvarado ($12,000), Mitchell Robinson ($8,000), Deuce McBride ($5,500) and Jordan Clarkson ($4,200).
Also available are “game-worn” jerseys from five players who did not appear in Game 1 (but did presumably wear them on the bench): Tyler Kolek (high bid $3,800), Mohamed Diawara ($3,000), Pacome Dadiet and Ariel Hukporti ($2,800 apiece), and Jeremy Sochan ($2,500).
Spurs jerseys range from Wembanyama’s at $65,000 to those of Bismack Biyombo and Lindy Waters III, which each had a high bid of $500.
If jerseys are not your style, other items are up for auction, including a piece of the Madison Square Garden floor. The item is listed as “NBA Finals Court Panel” and includes an NBA logo fragment and the letters “FIN” from the word “Finals.” The highest bid as of Sunday evening was $38,000.
A net used in Game 1 in San Antonio had a highest bid of $16,000.
The banner used during the trophy presentation after the Knicks won the title with their Game 5 victory in San Antonio on June 13 had a highest bid of $9,000.
The auction is scheduled to close at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
