Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov will get his chance to see the Knicks after all.
Prokhorov’s publicist, Ellen Pinchuk, told the Post that the Russian billionaire is scheduled to attend the next three home games for the Nets: Friday night against the Warriors, Sunday night against the Bucks and next Tuesday night against the Knicks.
Prokhorov was originally scheduled to attend the opening three games of the year, including the season opener against the Knicks on national television on Nov. 1. But after the game was postponed in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Prokhorov only made it for the opening two games of the season in Brooklyn against the Raptors on Nov. 3 and the Timberwolves on Nov. 5, and wasn’t in attendance when the postponed game was rescheduled to Nov. 26.
Prokhorov, who has playfully poked fun at Knicks owner James Dolan, will now get a chance to host Dolan at Barclays Center. At the ribbon cutting for the building on Sept. 21, was asked if Dolan would be in attendance at the season opener.
“I have sent him an invitation already,” Prokhorov said with a smile. “I’m still waiting for the answer.”
Prokhorov has said repeatedly that he plans on coming to “at least 25 percent” of the team’s home games this season, meaning at least 10, and then additional games assuming the Nets make the playoffs. If he makes this trip as scheduled, it would mean Prokhorov would have been in attendance for five of the team’s first 12 home games in Brooklyn.
