(NEW YORK) -- The New York Knicks are pausing individual ticket sales after the team said a "mistake" in pricing caused them to be listed too high.
The reigning NBA champions began selling tickets for the upcoming season this week. The starting price for the Oct. 20 season opener at Madison Square Garden against the Philadelphia 76ers was listed at more than $1,000 per ticket.
Tickets for the opener were removed from Ticketmaster as of Thursday afternoon, but remained listed at those prices on other ticket-selling websites.
"We are rolling back to last year's prices plus an average increase of 12%," Madison Square Garden Sports said Thursday. "We will restart sales with new prices shortly, and anyone who already purchased individual tickets will be refunded the difference."
The company, which owns the Knicks, added, "Our intention was never to overcharge our loyal fans, and we thank everyone for their support of the Knicks and their patience as we get this right."

(NEW YORK) -- Cavan Sullivan, the widely heralded 16-year-old Major League Soccer phenom, may get a chance to show off his skills at the highest level of international play.
Sullivan, along with 27 others, were named by head coach Mauricio Pochettino Thursday morning to the U.S. Men's National Team roster ahead of the four-match international window in September and October.
Sullivan, a midfielder for the Philadelphia Union, joins many of the same players who comprised the roster for the USMNT's World Cup run this summer including Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter, Gio Reyna, Malik Tillman, Ricardo Pepi and others.
"This is a fresh start for everyone, and we are excited to bring a group of experienced players along with young talents who have great potential," Pochettino said in a statement posted to USMNT social media after the roster announcement.
"It will be important that they all understand our culture, our way of working, and of course the principles of how we want to play," Pochettino added. "Most importantly, they must show the commitment to representing the country in the way our fans deserve."
Sullivan has recently turned the heads of many soccer fans displaying his dizzying ball-handling and goal-scoring capabilities.
In 2024, at just 14 years and 293 days old, Cavan became the youngest player ever to make a regular-season debut in any of the top North American sports leagues, including the NBA, NHL, NFL and WNBA.
Notably absent from this year's roster are USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun.
Other players making the USMNT roster include Chris Brady, Matt Freese, Diego Kochen, Brian Schwake, George Campbell, Sergiño Dest, Alex Freeman, Peyton Miller, Neil Pierre, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Miles Robinson, Auston Trusty, Frankie Westfield, Mathis Albert, Zavier Gozo, Adri Mehmeti, Yunus Musah, Brooklyn Raines, Cole Campbell, Justin Ellis and Julian Hall.
The squad will take on Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada during the window.

(NEW YORK) -- Siddharth Jawahar, a Texas-based investment adviser who ran a Ponzi scheme that defrauded Kansas City Chiefs football star Travis Kelce and other investors out of millions of dollars, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Jawahar, 38, was also ordered to pay $31.35 million in restitution to victims.
According to St. Louis ABC affiliate station KMOV, Kelce was named in court as a victim during sentencing without any additional details being provided.
Jawahar pleaded guilty in January to three counts of wire fraud in connection with the scheme.
Judge Zachary Bluestone "cited the 'enormous' losses and the lengthy duration of Jawahar’s fraud and echoed a victim who said Jawahar 'weaponized' investors' trust," and also said Jawahar’s "failure to begin repaying victims was a major factor" in his sentence, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Jawahar ran a Texas-based investment company called Swiftarc Capital LLC. Beginning in 2015, he began investing client funds in one investment entity, Philip Morris Pakistan, to the extent that at one point "99% of client funds were consolidated into" the entity, according to the statement.
"When the value of PMP declined, Jawahar did not tell investors and falsely claimed that his investors were making profits," according to the statement.
Jawahar, who is from India and has been in the U.S. illegally since 2005, according to prosecutors, took in more than $35 million from Swiftarc investors but invested only about $10 million, the U.S. attorney's statement said.
Jawahar used the rest of the money to repay older investors and to fuel an extravagant lifestyle that included travel on private jets, stays at luxury hotels, a luxury apartment in Austin and New York City, memberships at multiple private clubs across the country, spending sprees at clothing stores and expensive outings at fancy restaurants, according to the statement.
Following his indictment, Jawahar "tried to obstruct justice by trying to coach a victim into giving a favorable statement to the FBI, lying about his immigration status and finances and trying to get his sister to remotely wipe his iPhone to hide evidence," the U.S. attorney's statement said.
"Sid Jawahar is a very good man, who has made some very serious mistakes and is taking ownership of all of it," Jawahar's attorney said in a statement to ABC News. "He has made every effort from a jail cell in St. Genevieve [County] to recoup restitution for victims and plans to continue to do. His efforts at helping other inmates improve their lives at St. Genevieve speak the loudest about his true character and heart for service."
ABC News has reached out to a Travis Kelce representative for comment.
