The physical demands of the NBA Finals can be more than a player’s problem — just ask Timothée Chalamet.
The Hollywood A-lister — and Knicks superfan — posted a picture to his Instagram story of him with two plastic bags of ice on his knees while resting on a couch in Texas and donning a Knicks playoff shirt.
Chalamet, seemingly worn out from cheering on the sidelines during the Knicks’ 105-95 Game 1 win over the Spurs on Wednesday, posted the picture to his 21.2 million Instagram followers.

“Ppl underestimate the wear and tear on the body of a fan throughout the playoffs,” Chalamet said in a corresponding Instagram story post. “Self care is important.”
He also posted a video of himself drinking from an outdoor stream, but it’s unclear if that too is a part of his recovery process.
Chalamet, a New York native, has been a mainstay on the sidelines during the Knicks’ playoff games, often being spotted alongside his girlfriend, star socialite Kylie Jenner.
The “Dune” actor, along with Celebrity Row staples Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller, invaded San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center to cheer on the Knicks on the road against the Spurs.

Chalamet was also right in the middle of the Knicks’ celebration after clinching their first NBA Finals berth in 27 years with their 130-89 win over the Cavaliers.
He embraced Knicks president Leon Rose, with the two seen side by side in a picture on the court at Rocket Arena.
Video also showed the movie star calling Knicks swingman Mikal Bridges “The GOAT.”
“Self care is important,” Chalamet said. @tchalamet/Instagram
“Bro, I got your jersey in my house,” Chalamet could be heard telling him.
It’s likely that Chalamet will be in attendance for Game 2 in San Antonio, which will start at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
