NBA star Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks is set to make an appearance at the Emmys alongside actress Mariska Hargitay from the popular TV show "Law and Order: SVU." Brunson, who helped the Knicks secure their first championship in over 53 years, has recently become a close friend of Hargitay, a die-hard Knicks fan who supported the team throughout their championship run.

Knicks season is set to resume on October 5th with preseason games, and the team will kick off their regular season against LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers on October 20th.
