The 27-year-old actress was seen at the game shortly after braving the freezing cold in Midtown Manhattan earlier in the day.

NBA fans on social media went wild over the sighting of the “Euphoria” star.

“Ohhh boy…, Career highs will be set,” former NFLer Chris Manno wrote on X.

“Cam Thomas would’ve had 50 tonight. Remember what he did with Eileen Gu in attendance and with Tate McRae and Olivia Rodrigo courtside at the Lakers game in LA?” wrote one fan.

“OG might score 70 points tonight,” another chimed in.

One fan was confident in their ability to impress the “Anyone But You” star.

“On my life im dropping a 50 bomb minimum if Thibs put me in the game,” they wrote.

One fan, seeming to want a better chance at a high lottery draft pick, was annoyed that the Nets were hanging around with the Knicks.

“These guys saw Sydney Sweeney court side and decided to blow up the tank smfh,” they added.

The Knicks managed to secure a 99-95 victory over the tanking Nets.

As for Sweeney, although she hails from Spokane, Washington, it seems she had no strong allegiance to either team, but still managed to stir up NBA social media for the night.
