Well, hold on to your hats because it seems like Timothee Chalamet might have a future on the basketball court if the New York Knicks have anything to say about it.

Timothée Chalamet gets an offer from Knicks
Timothee Chalamet recently took to Instagram and posted a carousel post showcasing how the summer of 2026 seems to be treating him. He also included a clip of himself sinking a heavily contested three-pointer inside an empty Madison Square Garden, with the caption, “Summer26.” And, it’s quite safe to say that this post ended up getting all the right kinda of attention on social media. After all, even Anthony Edwards reacted in the comments section.
The celebrated Minnesota Timberwolves star responded to this post with a “Yea Killa” after Chalamet included a photo featuring three pairs of Edwards’ Adidas AE 2 signature sneakers in the carousel. This was one of the most-liked comments on Chalamet’s post. However, that really wasn’t all. Even the Knicks happened to come across the post and decided to join in on the fun. They commented below Chalamet’s carousel post with a playful response of their own.
The NBA franchise jokingly hinted at offering the actor a professional opportunity, commenting, “Check your DMs, we just sent you a 10-day,” referring to the short-term contracts NBA teams occasionally hand out during the season.
Between the Madison Square Garden setting, the clean three-point shot, and the celebrity-athlete interaction in the comments, the post expectedly turned into a viral crossover moment between Hollywood and the NBA. Who knows, the actor might just end up having an unexpected NBA-coded basketball twist in his career!
