Madison Square Garden drew a star-studded crowd on Monday night, May 6, 2026, as the New York Knicks hosted the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their playoff series.
Actor and director Ben Stiller was back in his familiar courtside seat, joining a long list of high-profile attendees. Fellow actor Timothée Chalamet, entrepreneur and media personality Kylie Jenner, and music mogul Jay-Z were also spotted in the arena, adding extra buzz to the already electric atmosphere.
The celebrity turnout underscored the game’s marquee appeal and the Garden’s reputation as a magnet for entertainment and sports figures alike. Fans frequently turned their attention from the hardwood to the front rows, where cameras captured the famous faces cheering, chatting and soaking in the playoff intensity.
While the Knicks and 76ers battled on the court, MSG’s celebrity rollout served as a reminder that postseason basketball in New York remains one of the city’s premier tickets—both for die-hard fans and for Hollywood’s biggest names.
