Overview
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and 20-year-old Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara broke their fast Saturday evening at Saint Louis Restaurant Keur Yayou Dara in Harlem before heading to a nearby court.
- They walked to Marcus Garvey Park and joined neighborhood players for a brief game of H-O-R-S-E, with Mamdani tossing on an NYC Parks T-shirt and trading lighthearted shots with the rookie.
- Diawara observes Ramadan during the NBA season and says the Knicks have supported him with logistics such as 4 a.m. room-service meals to maintain nutrition.
- Mamdani framed the evening as part of his effort to broaden how New Yorkers see Muslim identity and to underscore that Muslims are a diverse, rooted presence in the city.
- The cordial meetup followed an earlier campaign-logo dispute between Mamdani and the Knicks that prompted a cease-and-desist and a repost of the altered logo by President Donald Trump.
