Ecstatic Timothee Chalamet greets mob of wild Knicks fans outside MSG in chaotic scene
After the Knicks knocked off the Celtics in Game 6 in the second round of the NBA playoffs, supporters flocked to the streets around Madison Square Garden, leading to many a delirious scene.
One of those involved Chalamet, the 'A Complete Unknown' actor, who was in the back seat of a black car on 33rd Street outside entrance C of the Garden and was just as jubilant as the rest of the diehards in Midtown.
Chalamet was all smiles, high-fiving excited fans as he popped out of the back window, and he didn't seem any worse for wear as fans touched him.

It was one of the many scenes of chaos after the Knicks' 119-81 win over the Celtics, as photos and videos outside the arena showed some fans climbing up light poles, at least one burning of a Celtics jacket and others chanting and yelling in pure exultation.
Another noted Knicks superfan, Spike Lee, was seen going in a car slowly down Eighth Avenue, greeting fans as he stuck out through the sunroof of his vehicle.

But they were back in the states for the series shifting back to New York, as they sat courtside with Kylie's sister, Kendall, for the Knicks' 4 Game 4 win.
After that win, Chalamet even dapped up big man Karl-Anthony Towns in a moment of pure joy.
The SAG Award winner took in Game 5's loss in Boston as his beau went into vacation mode, and then made it back to New York for the series clincher, sitting next to rapper Bad Bunny and once again sharing a moment with Towns.
Chalamet will get at least one more series to cheer on his favorite team, as the Knicks next take on the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, which start Wednesday night at the Garden.

Best of Jayson Tatum with the Boston Celtics in 2024-25
We may not get to see star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum on a basketball court for his team again until the start of the NBA's 2026-27 regular season. The St. Louis native tore his Achilles tendon playing the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series that would Boston's last in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Fans of Tatum and the Celtics will likely grow restless waiting for his return to the team, but the folks behind the official Celtics YouTube channel put together a clip of the best of the Duke alum's plays from the 2024-25 season to keep us all occupied while we wait for Tatum to get back to being himself. We might have a shot at seeing him back late in 2025-26, but in the likely case he elects to wait until the following season to return to the court, check out the clip embedded below for your Taco Jay fix in the meantime.

Lakers' Luka Doncic shows love for Jalen Brunson during Yankees visit
The post Lakers' Luka Doncic shows love for Jalen Brunson during Yankees visit appeared first on ClutchPoints. Luka Doncic is in the middle of an offseason that could prove to be a defining point in his career. Traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers due to concerns over his long-term health and work ethic, it looks as though Doncic is dead-set on proving his haters wrong, if the latest footage of his workouts are any indication. But this offseason isn't all work and no play for Doncic, as he spent his free time being in attendance at Yankee Stadium for the New York Yankees' 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday as part of his collaboration with star Aaron Judge. Doncic, of course, is one of the biggest stars in professional sports, so it was only due diligence for the YES broadcast to bring him in for a quick chat. And as a New York sports broadcast channel would have it, the Lakers star was asked about his opinions regarding the New York Knicks. Unsurprisingly, Doncic had nothing but kind words to say, especially when one of his former teammates, reigning Clutch Player of the Year Jalen Brunson, has blossomed into a legitimate MVP-caliber player for the Knicks. 'I like the Knicks. I like my guy JB, you know that. I always cheer for him,' Doncic said, via @NBA_NewYork on X (formerly Twitter). They also asked the Lakers star what he thought of the Knicks' decision to fire Tom Thibodeau. Doncic, who's no stranger to seismic changes, knows the nature of the business and wasn't exactly surprised of this turn of events. 'It's the NBA business; anything can happen,' Doncic added. Doncic is certainly more jaded than ever after the events of last season, and at the very least, he and Brunson can bond over the fact that the Mavericks fumbled them both. Lakers and Knicks benefit from Mavericks' fumbling The Mavericks have lucked into where they are now; as things stand, they have a roster build to contend especially if Cooper Flagg delivers on the hype and Kyrie Irving recovers fully from his ACL tear. But they have fumbled plenty of players over the years, letting go of elite point guards who went on to do bigger and better things after departing from Dallas. In 2004, it was Steve Nash whom the Mavericks let go in free agency. They appeared to make the same mistake 18 years later, when they allowed Brunson to walk to the Knicks. And then in 2025, in a move that still ranks as the most surprising in the history of professional sports, the Mavs traded Doncic to the Lakers.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Celtics are entering what could be a throwaway season in the 2025-26 campaign. After Jayson Tatum went down with a torn Achilles in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, the team underwent major changes during the offseason. Jrue Holiday was traded away to the Portland Trail Blazers. Following that move, the Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks. Their main return in those two trades were Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang.

More Photo byDespite how disappointing the offseason has been for Boston fans, the Celtics have received some huge news. Tatum seems to be progressing very well in his recovery from the Achilles tear. Read more: Lakers' Luka Doncic Sends Clear Warning to NBA After Extension As shared by Heavy NBA reporter Steve Bulpett, an NBA scout gave an update about Tatum. He seems to be well ahead of pace in his recovery. "He was moving really well. There might have been a slight limp or something, but the surprising thing to me is that he didn't have a boot for any of it," the scout said. "I'm no doctor, but I've seen guys coming back from Achilles' tears, and he looked way ahead. I was kind of shocked to see how well he was moving. I have no idea for what any of this means for when he can come back. I'm sure him and the Celtics' medical people have their program set up, and they'll make sure that he's where he needs to be when he does get back. But he looks great right now. Of course, he didn't do any running or even jogging, but he was in great shape and he had no trouble doing his part at the camp." Could there be a chance that Tatum returns to the court during the 2025-26 season? Fans will have to wait patiently to find out that answer. Read more: Pelicans' Zion Williamson Receives Major Future Update There is no point to rushing Tatum back. If he needs to miss the entire season to come back fully healthy with no risk of injuring the Achilles again, then that will be the path Boston takes. Tatum put together another big season during the 2024-25 season. In 72 games with the Celtics, he averaged 26.8 points per game to go along with 8.7 rebounds, six assists, and 1.1 steals, while shooting 45.2 percent from the floor and 34.3 percent from three-point distance. Expect to hear more updates about Tatum in the coming weeks and months. For now, this is great news for Boston that gives hope of a potential return quicker than expected.
