New York Knicks guard Jordan Clarkson had a run-in with police on Saturday while trying to keep the peace in a New York City nightclub.
Clarkson was among the sea of celebrities spotted at Zero Bond nightclub for a party hosted by Raising Cane’s co-founder Todd Graves. So was rapper Travis Scott.
According to a report from TMZ, Scott took offense at a man filming him without his consent while interacting with another attendee at the event. The Houston-born artist confronted the man, which eventually led to Scott’s entourage allegedly throwing bottles around as tempers flared.
Per the report, Clarkson jumped in to de-escalate the situation. The Knicks star and the rowdy members of Scott’s entourage were both eventually “removed from the venue.”

Clarkson is just a month removed from helping the Knicks win the 2026 NBA championship. He scored 4.9 points per game across 18 postseason contests.
While Clarkson probably would have been treated like royalty in any other public nightclub, his star was dimmed next to dozens of A-list celebrities who attended Saturday’s Raising Cane’s event.
Those NYPD officers probably wouldn’t have gotten physical with Jalen Brunson had he been the one supposedly playing the role of peacemaker.
