The pair entered the arena floor hand in hand as they walked to their seats, while Jenner donned black pants and an orange jacket.
Chalamet was wearing dark colored jeans with blue and orange insignias on them, along with a blue and orange jacket for Thursday's must-win Game 5.
He showed off his outfit in a series of snapshots on his Instagram Story.
The couple sat alongside fellow actor and Knicks diehard Ben Stiller — and actor Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Teller.

The actor has been a mainstay throughout the Knicks' playoff run this season, sitting courtside at the Garden and on the road — having taken the trip to Indiana for Games 3 and 4.

Thursday is Jenner's first time back at the Garden for a Knicks playoff game since May 12, when she and her sister, Kendall, joined Chalamet courtside as the Knicks beat the Celtics in Game 4 of the second-round series.

The Kardashian clan's appearance at the Knicks game made waves considering both Jenner sisters are from Los Angeles, but had clearly embraced Chalamet's love of the Knicks during the earlier appearance.
Both sisters wore Knicks hats during that game and Kylie has hinted at her Knicks support previously in the playoffs when she sported a black Knicks hat while she posed in a black bikini earlier this month.

Jenner and Chalamet have been dating since 2023 and only recently made their debut on the red carpet as a couple during the 70th David di Donatello ceremony in Rome on May 7.
Chalamet is a New York native with a long history of Knicks fandom and has shown off his sports chops in appearances on 'College Game Day' on ESPN and on Theo Von's podcast.

Knicks Under Fire Over Head Coach Search After Jason Kidd Update
Knicks Under Fire Over Head Coach Search After Jason Kidd Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are on the receiving end of criticism following the surprise firing of Tom Thibodeau. The veteran head coach left the team after five seasons, posting a 226-174 record (24-23 in the playoffs) and leading it to back-to-back 50-plus-win seasons. Advertisement Thibodeau took the team back to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years, but the Indiana Pacers stopped their remarkable run with a 4-2 win. A couple of days later, the two-time Coach of the Year award recipient was dismissed. The team started looking for a replacement shortly after, and the front office reportedly focused on several coaches already employed around the league. Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Wednesday that the Knicks' request to interview Jason Kidd, currently with the Dallas Mavericks, was strongly denied. They additionally reached out to the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets to ask permission to interview Chris Finch and Ime Udoka, respectively, but their attempts weren't fruitful, either. Former New York Knicks head coach Tom ThibodeauVincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The latest update on Kidd raised several eyebrows on social media. Many fans criticized the team for firing Thibodeau without apparently having a clear plan to find his replacement. Advertisement "knicks don't know what the hell they doin," one fan wrote. "So they fired Thibs with essentially no plan…" another fan said. "Sounds like they really thought this out," a third fan sarcastically said. "This is a bad look on Dolan and Leon Rose…" a fourth fan added. "From an optics perspective, it makes @nyknicks look like a joke. Patently, no firm plan for any one candidate & no proper contingencies in place," a fifth fan wrote. "Knicks strategy is reaching out to teams current head coaches," a sixth fan said. There are still good coaches like Michael Malone and Taylor Jenkins unemployed out there, but the Knicks' front office has taken a different route. The offseason just started for them, and perhaps new opportunities will come, but fans aren't happy with their current approach. Advertisement New York has a solid team that showed it can contend, but if it fails to find the right piece to coach it, the disappointment will continue.

Fans Link Knicks Player's Cryptic Post to Lonzo Ball Trade
Fans Link Knicks Player's Cryptic Post to Lonzo Ball Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Josh Hart sparked a lot of reactions with a cryptic message on social media. The New York Knicks could have a busy offseason, again, following an Eastern Conference finals elimination against the Indiana Pacers. Advertisement They selected Mohamed Diawara with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft before signing Dink Pate out of the Mexico City Capitanes, adding two young faces to the team. New York is still looking for a new head coach, while free agency opens, but they have been mentioned in multiple trade rumors. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who beat the Knicks in their regular-season series (4-0), landed a solid guard on Saturday. Lonzo Ball is heading to Cleveland after the 2016 NBA champions sent Isaac Okoro to the Chicago Bulls. Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (2) brings the ball up court against the Los Angeles Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Shortly after the trade was reported, Hart took to X and sent a cryptic message, criticizing unknown people. This message made a lot of fans think that he was referring to the Ball trade. The majority of comments suggested he was talking about Bulls' general manager Arturas Karnisovas, while others thought he was taking a jab at Leon Rose, the Knicks' GM. Advertisement "word, LONZO SHOUDVE BEEN A KNICK," one fan said. "Bro talkin bout Leon lmao," another fan said. "Bulls front office," a third fan said. "Bros talking about the Bulls GM," a fourth fan added. "Traded bro for peanuts lol," a fifth fan wrote. "Tell Leon to wake up big bro!" a sixth fan said. Having a solid player such as Ball is a notable improvement for the Cavaliers. He has a high basketball IQ and can impact the game on both ends. The Knicks can make some moves this offseason to take their game to the next level.
