Knicks fans were at least given something to cheer for during their brutal Friday loss to the Thunder.
Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles was seen courtside at Madison Square Garden alongside her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
Biles and Owens were featured on the scoreboard ahead of the fourth quarter, along with some of Biles’ highlights from the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she took home three gold medals in gymnastics for the United States.

The couple was met with loud applause from the crowd when the two kissed on the big screen.
Their appearance at the Knicks game capped a long day of sightseeing from the pair.
Biles was in New York to make an appearance on the “Today” show, surprising host Hoda Kotb on her final day at the program.
Biles showcased her travels with her husband on Instagram as the couple used the remainder of the day to explore the city.
Eli Manning was also seen courtside during Friday’s game and sat next to Biles and Owens.
Manning stole the show during his time on the big screen, signing a football and tossing it into the crowd behind him.

Cheers for the celebrities were ultimately drowned out by the boos following the Knicks’ blowout loss to Oklahoma City.
