Summary
A 17-year-old beaten into a coma after a Knicks-Spurs fight near Madison Square Garden has regained consciousness and is in critical but stable condition, with doctors expected to remove him from a ventilator Friday.
NYPD said a group confronted the teen, an argument broke out and one person punched and kicked him; the clash reportedly started after taunts over San Antonio leading the game drew a profane response from someone in the teen's group.
The assault followed the Knicks' Game 4 comeback, which also led to 15 arrests citywide and eggs being thrown at Spurs star Victor Wembanyama outside the team hotel.
Watch parties around the Knicks' playoff run have repeatedly raised security concerns: some were canceled earlier, but events are still planned for Game 5 outside MSG and at Radio City Music Hall and Central Park.
