Madison Square Garden will re-open tomorrow, after an asbestos scare.
Garden officials released a statement Wednesday saying that experts have confirmed that the arena is safe. Maintenance, which included cleaning of asbestos related materials, caused debris to fall from the attic into the playing area this week.
A spokesperson says the game between the Knicks and the Orlando Magic that was canceled on Tuesday due to safety concerns, will be rescheduled. The date has yet to be decided.
The Knicks play the Washington Wizards at the Garden Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.
