It takes time for even Lisan al-Gaib to heal. In fact, Timothée Chalamet revealed how his passion for the New York Knicks has affected his physical health, outlining the recuperation measures he's doing to ensure he's ready to support his preferred NBA club throughout the 2026 postseason.

Timothée claimed he was in pain the day after the Dune star witnessed the Knicks defeat the San Antonio Spurs in the opening NBA Finals game on June 3. After all, on June 4, the Marty Supreme actor posted a picture of himself on his Instagram Stories, showing him lounging on a couch in Texas while icing his knees.

Additionally, Timothée, who was wearing a Knicks royal blue t-shirt in the photo, claims that "ppl underestimate the wear and tear on the body of a fan throughout the playoffs."

"Self care is important," the Oscar nominee emphasized, adding emojis of a person receiving a massage and laughing.

Additionally, the Knicks were aware of Timothée's tremendous commitment to the basketball club.

On June 4, the NBA team reposted the image of the Call Me By Your Name star on his knees on its official X account with the caption, "rest up knicks fam. we're back it tomorrow."

Even though the group acknowledged Timothée on social media, he has grown to be a well-known character at Knicks games with other celebrities, garnering attention for his enthusiasm and enticing his girlfriend Kylie Jenner to join the fandom.

The pair, whom have gone on numerous romantic courtside dates together, recently shared a tender kiss to commemorate the Knicks' run to the NBA Finals.

On May 25, after the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers 130-93 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Timothée, 30, and Kylie, 28, were seen cuddling and kissing from their seats as they celebrated the team's historic victory.

Kylie demonstrated that she understands the significance of the team winning when she republished a Sex and the City clip on TikTok during the NBA playoffs last year, despite the fact that the couple—who were initially romantically linked in 2023—have been following the Knicks throughout the season.

“Don is obsessed,” in the video that HBO Max initially released in May 2025, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) bemoans to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker). “I don’t get laid unless the Knicks win."
