Timothée Chalamet Joins Knicks Locker Room Celebration After Championship Victory

Timothée Chalamet was on hand in San Antonio Saturday night to witness the New York Knicks capture their first NBA title in more than half a century, defeating the Spurs in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center.

The 30-year-old New York native, a longtime Knicks devotee who regularly watches games from courtside seats, had attended the previous two Finals matchups in New York alongside girlfriend Kylie Jenner, the pair coordinating their outfits for Game 4.

Following the Knicks' championship clincher, Chalamet celebrated on the court with fans and posed for photos with shooting guard Mikal Bridges while holding up a New York Post front page proclaiming the team "Champs!"

Speaking to SportsCenter courtside, the actor expressed his enthusiasm: "Way rather this than the Oscars! Come on baby!" Chalamet has received three Best Actor Oscar nominations throughout his career.

The festivities continued as Chalamet made his way into the locker room with the team, where he became fully immersed in the champagne-soaked revelry. He shared a video of the moment on Instagram captioned "THEY DID IT," and in another clip joked, "I'm not an athlete, usually I have a stunt double to do that."
