Kylie Jenner might’ve thought she was just enjoying a night of basketball with her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, and her sister Kendall Jenner—but the internet had other plans.
What seemed like a sweet, star-studded night out quickly turned into a full-blown sports loyalty controversy that had Knicks fans in a frenzy.
Sitting Courtside… But Siding with the Wrong Team?
Kylie, 27, and Timothée, 29, showed up front and center at Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals as the New York Knicks took on the Boston Celtics.
Alongside them was Kendall Jenner, also 29, soaking in the high-stakes energy at Madison Square Garden.
But what really set the internet off? Kylie and Kendall, both well-known for repping the Lakers back in Los Angeles, were spotted wearing Knicks gear.
Not just sitting courtside—but posing for photos in full Knicks merch on Instagram. Knicks fans were not amused.
Knicks Fans Clap Back at Jenner Sisters
Social media blew up with criticism as fans accused the Jenner sisters of “bandwagoning” and betraying their longtime support of the Lakers. One post said it best:
“They a bunch of Lakers fans tryna bandwagon.
You wasn’t with us when the Knicks was shooting in the gym.”
Others didn’t hold back either:
“They ain’t ever been to our games,” one user wrote.
“Kendall is constantly at the Lakers games. Nah, we good.”
Another fan joked: “Stop jinxing the Knicks!!”
It’s clear—Knicks supporters weren’t buying the courtside photo-op, even with Chalamet cheering alongside them.
Timothée’s Knicks Passion Runs Deep
Timothée, a proud New Yorker, skipped this year’s Met Gala just to watch the Knicks play.
And during the Celtics matchup, he couldn’t hide his excitement.
He was caught on camera celebrating the Knicks’ 121-113 win with none other than director Spike Lee, one of the team’s most iconic superfans.
At one sweet moment during the game, Kylie was seen leaning in to whisper something to Timothée.
Both burst into laughter, looking completely smitten with each other—oblivious to the internet storm brewing.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, things have moved fast between the couple—and they’re already “practically living together.”
“He stays at her house a lot when he’s not working,” the source said. “He’s really become part of her life.”
A Big Step on the Red Carpet in Rome
The game night drama came just days after the pair made their first official red carpet appearance together at a high-profile awards event in Rome.
That public outing marked a new chapter for the couple, with Kylie reportedly feeling proud to share her relationship with the world.
“She wanted to publicly support him,” the insider shared.
“This was a big step for her—and they’re in a really good place.”
Kylie’s Different Kind of Love Story
