## Summary

Kiyan Anthony is returning to Madison Square Garden, where he spent much of his childhood watching his father, Carmelo Anthony, play for the Knicks. This time, the 19-year-old will take the court as a Syracuse player against No. 13 St. John’s, marking a personal milestone and a high-profile test for his team.

Anthony was three when his father joined the Knicks and remembers being at the Garden for Carmelo’s 62-point game, which set the Knicks’ single-game scoring record. He also often trained in the building before games. He expects family and friends to attend Sunday night’s matchup and said Syracuse must be ready to do whatever it takes to win.
