Knicks Season Returns with Celebrity Attendance
The Knicks are back in action, and that means the celebrity scene at Madison Square Garden is buzzing.
Among the notable attendees was Yankees star Aaron Judge, who, along with his wife Samantha Blacksick, made a splash as the Knicks kicked off their 2025-26 season on home turf. Judge, who smashed 53 home runs this past season and topped the MLB with an impressive OPS of 1.144, watched the game from a courtside seat. The couple, known for keeping a low profile in New York, had the chance to experience the game up close as the Knicks pulled ahead with a 15-point lead over Cleveland by halftime.
Judge was also photographed with the father of Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony and current New York star Karl-Anthony Towns. In addition, Yankees pitchers Cam Schlitler and Devin Williams were spotted at the game, adding to the star-studded atmosphere.
The scene wasn’t just for Yankees players; Giants rookie standout Cam Skatebo joined in on the excitement as well. When he appeared on the MSG scoreboard early in the second half, the crowd erupted.
This Arizona State alumnus had quite a breakout season, contributing six total touchdowns and even introducing some dynamic backflip energy to his team.
Of course, Midtown was teeming with familiar faces. Actor Ben Stiller was there with his wife Christine Taylor, soaking in the game. Music icons like Fat Joe and Ed Sheeran were seated in the front row, fully engaged with the action. Comedians also made their presence felt, as both Jimmy Fallon and Tracy Morgan were in attendance, enjoying the lively atmosphere.
