Mamdani repeals bedtime for New York City students during Knicks playoffs
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Mayor Zohran Mamdani is making sure that New York City schools students can stay up late to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals.
The mayor was joined by a group of students Monday morning to sign an executive order that repeals bedtime so the kids can stay up late to watch the Knicks.
"Bedtime is repealed! All of you can watch the Finals," the mayor declared.
Game 1 of the finals is Wednesday night on ABC 7.
After Mamdani signed the executive order, a group of children crowded around him at City Hall to "sign" it with their handprints.
On Wednesday, ahead of Game 1, Mornings @ 10 will be live from Madison Square Garden. Then at 7:30 p.m., we'll have the Countdown to Tip-off. That's followed by NBA Tip-off at 8:00 p.m., and then Game 1 starts at 8:30 p.m.
Plus, Ryan Field, Sam Ryan, and Anthony Johnson will all be on the road in San Antonio. You can watch their reports on Eyewitness News.
