Timothee Chalamet Nervously Watches Crucial Knicks-Pacers Game as Kylie Jenner Skips Again
Timothee Chalamet Suffers NBA Misery as Knicks Lose Again Without Kylie Jenner

Timothee Chalamet’s tough week as a New York Knicks fan continued Friday night as his team fell 114-109 to the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The actor, seated alongside Ben Stiller at Madison Square Garden, watched nervously as Jalen Brunson missed critical late three-pointers, putting the Knicks in a 0-2 series hole.

This marked the duo’s second heartbreaking outing in three days after witnessing a crushing overtime defeat in Game 1. Despite Chalamet’s loyal support—he’s been a courtside regular this postseason—his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was notably absent. The reality star last attended a game with Chalamet on May 12 during the Celtics series, where they celebrated a win with Kendall Jenner. Since then, she’s been posting tropical swimwear photos from vacation.

Body language expert Judi James analyzed Jenner’s recent posts, suggesting they’re a “rolled-up newspaper rap on the nose” for Chalamet after he skipped the Met Gala to watch the Knicks. “Her poses scream confidence, almost daring Timothee to look away from basketball,” James noted. A source added that Chalamet initially considered joining Jenner at the Met but opted for the game, leaving her to fly solo.

Chalamet’s passion for the Knicks is well-documented. Earlier this month, he and NFL star Russell Wilson partied at Manhattan’s Chez Margaux after the team advanced. His fandom traces back to 2010 when he won tickets through a social media contest.
Friday’s game drew other A-listers, including Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Murray, Michael J. Fox, and musician Jelly Roll. Despite the star power, the Knicks couldn’t rally, leaving Chalamet and Stiller visibly deflated.

With the series shifting to Indiana, Chalamet faces an uphill battle to see his team in the NBA Finals. Meanwhile, Jenner’s absence raises questions—will she return courtside, or is this a strategic relationship power play? Only time (and Instagram) will tell.
