The Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., was once again littered with celebrities on Monday, as the New York Knicks hosted the Atlanta Hawks for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Among the personalities who attended the game was Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Suni Lee, who was shown on the broadcast during a break in the contest.

Shortly after that, fans tried to link her MSG presence to the high energy that Knicks forward OG Anunoby was showing during the game, implying that he was trying to get the attention of the 23-year-old Olympian.

The internet attempted to romantically connect Suni Lee and Anunoby in 2025 after she attended Knicks home games and even had a photo snapped with Anunoby. She later shut down the rumors, saying that she and Anunoby were nothing more than friends.
Anunoby doesn’t have time for whatever the internet is cooking involving him and Lee, as the Knicks just suffered a meltdown in a 107-106 Game 2 loss to the Hawks.
Anunoby had 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the Knicks’ loss.
New York squandered a 14-point lead, as Atlanta guard CJ McCollum took over down the stretch to lead the Hawks to their first win in the series that is now tied at 1-1.
