Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner take in Knicks-Pacers Game 6 after making trip to Indy
The Knicks' superfans are ready for more Hoosier hospitality.
Timothée Chalamet, 29, made a return trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, two days after the Knicks saved their season with a dominant 111-94 win over the Garden — and this time, he was with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Chalemet and Jenner, 27, celebrated the Knicks staving off elimination with a kiss Thursday in Game 5.

The Pacers, now one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals, took Game 4 at home, with star Tyrese Haliburton putting up a triple-double in the 130-121 victory.
Indiana was supported by some of their celeb fans Tuesday night, including former Colts punter and ESPN personality Pat McAfee, who called out Ben Stiller and Co. on the Jumbotron.
'Indianapolis, Indiana, we've got some bigwigs from the big city in the building,' McAfee, 38, began.

'… Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears ringing. Let's turn this s–t up!'
The trolling not only perplexed Stiller — 'Just seems a little cartoonish' — but Indiana native and Hall of Fame singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, who apologized for McAfee's behavior on social media.
'I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team — and in turn, support our team. The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality. One could only say it's poor, poor sportsmanship. I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life,' the statement read.

'On behalf of most Hoosiers, I would like to apologize for our poor behavior. I'm sure the Pacers had nothing to do with this smackdown.'
In return, McAfee told Mellencamp to 'shut the f–k up' on his self-titled ESPN program Friday.
It remains to be seen if the Knicks' A-Listers will get the last laugh over McAfee Saturday night.
If necessary, Game 7 shifts back to New York on Monday.

Knicks firing head coach Tom Thibodeau
The Knicks' Tom Thibodeau era has come to an end. SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley has confirmed that the Knicks are firing Thibodeau after five seasons as the team's head coach. Begley previously reported that Thibodeau has been on shaky ground in the past and survived, with team president Leon Rose making the decision to stick with Thibodeau amid past uncertainty. Advertisement Working with Rose, Thibodeau led the Knicks to a period of sustained regular season success that had eluded the organization, making the playoffs in four of his five seasons. But even with a talented roster that features Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and other key pieces, the Knicks couldn't get over the hump in the playoffs, falling to the Indiana Pacers in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals as questions arose about Thibodeau's rotation and substitutions. Overall, Thibodeau went 226-174 in the regular season, and 24-23 in the playoffs as the Knicks' head coach. The Knicks now begin a search for their 32nd head coach.

Knicks reportedly part ways with HC Tom Thibodeau after Eastern Conference finals run
After leading the New York Knicks to their best season in 25 years, Tom Thibodeau's time as head coach has come to an end. The Knicks have relieved Thibodeau of his duties as head coach, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday. Thibodeau helped oversee the Knicks' turnaround in recent years. He coached New York to the playoffs four times in his five seasons as head coach after getting hired in 2020. The Knicks had their best season under Thibodeau in 2024-25, reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 following their second-round upset of the defending champion Boston Celtics. They weren't able to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, though, falling to the Indiana Pacers in six games. Thibodeau went 226-174 in his five regular seasons as Knicks head coach.
