Four Regents exams scheduled for Thursday, during the Knicks' celebratory parade in Manhattan, will go on as planned, according to state Education Department officials.
The schedules are set by the state, not the city, and were released long before the Knicks started their run to the NBA championship.
There will be four exams for some high school students - living environment, biology, earth science and earth and space.
The New York Knicks clinched their first NBA title in over five decades over the weekend, turning a city known for its sharp elbows, grit, and tough love into a bastion of joy, painting smiles on fans and casual observers alike as cheers rang through the New York City streets and beyond.
Moments after the final buzzer sounded in San Antonio, Texas, where the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in the fifth and final game of the NBA championship series, social media and news broadcasts were inundated with images and videos of fans across New York City taking to the streets to celebrate the team's performance.
Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale University and host of "The Happiness Lab" podcast, told ABC News that science helps explain why people both in and outside of New York City are joyful about the Knicks' win.
The players will travel north along Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes before ending at City Hall.
After the parade, Mayor Mamdani will host a championship celebration and Key to the City ceremony on the City Hall Plaza.
