Timothée Chalamet skips the Met Gala and sits courtside at the New York Knicks playoff game

Timothée Chalamet trades the Met Gala for the basketball mecca.

The A-Lister sits courtside at an important playoff game for his favorite NBA team instead of accompanying his “partner of three years.” Kylie Jenner at the biggest evening in fashion.

Timmy is a huge New York Knicks fan…and he’s at center half court watching the home team take on the visiting Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of their playoff series.

Meanwhile, Kylie is across town celebrating the first Monday in May…and she’s missing time.

Timothée choosing the Knicks over Kylie shouldn’t be a huge surprise if you’ve been paying attention…he ignored the Met Gala last year to watch the Knicks on TV.

This year, the Knicks are playing at home… so it seems Timothée had an even easier decision.

Courtside at Madison Square Garden…it’s hard to beat. Better luck next year, Met Gala!!!
