Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods Celebrate the New York Knicks' Win In Style

Jordyn Woods gave Karl-Anthony Towns the ultimate assist.

After the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 for the 2026 NBA championship June 13, the basketball star (affectionately known as KAT) thanked his fiancée’s lucky purse for helping the team secure their historic win.

“Hey, Papa, we got the bag,” Towns said in a clip shared by the NBA. “The bag made it. The bag’s undefeated, man.”

Towns added, “I want everyone in New York to know that bag won the championship.”

In the clip, Woods held onto Towns’ hand as she sported the team’s good luck charm: an orange clutch from her clothing brand Woods by Jordyn.

But Towns—and Knicks fans—haven’t deemed the bag lucky for no reason.

After all, the Knicks have won every single game this season where Woods has worn the bag. And the most recent time they lost, it was because she had to abide by the no-bag policy at Madison Square Garden during Game 3 of the NBA finals June 8.

As for the accessory’s origin story?

“I had made this sample a while ago for the playoffs,” she told The Cut in an interview published June 13. “I knew we were going to be in the playoffs just based on the team’s success last year and I wanted to wear something that’s part of my own brand, Woods by Jordyn.”

“I kept wearing it and they didn’t lose,” she added. “The one time we lost was when I couldn’t bring my bag into Madison Square Garden, so it kind of created this hysteria.”

But Woods—who announced her engagement to Towns last December— knows the bag only took the Knicks so far.

“I don’t want to take the credit for the amazing talent and skill that these guys have had,” she explained. “I’m superstitious so regardless, if we start winning and I switch it up and we lose, then I just stick with what I know.”

But win or lose, Towns is just happy to have his fiancée by his side.

"You always pray you're going to pick the right woman for you and I know I did in my fiancée,” Towns said in a post-game interview June 13. “I damn sure know now with that bag. That bag held it down. Shout-out to Woods by Jordyn.”

Indeed, Woods has supported Towns through every high and low, including the death of his late mother Jacqueline Cruz.

“When she passed, there was so much turmoil in my life,” he said. “Funny enough, my fiancée was the one, who was a friend at the time, was the only person I got to call before I had to go out there and say bye to her at the hospital.”

“Me and her have a real bond that goes deeper than just physical features and everything like that,” he added. “We've got a true friendship that was built from the ground up.”

But Woods isn’t the only star who has been cheering on the Knicks during the NBA finals. For more celebrity Knicks fans, read on…

Ben Stiller

You could never sever Ben Stiller's tie to the Knicks. In fact, the Severance director said that if he could choose between winning an Oscar or having the team take the championship title, he'd pick the latter.

"I really think, at the end of the day, if I knew that I had the choice, I would give it to the Knicks," he said on New Heights in 2025, "because I knew at least I had the choice in this weird, non-real situation."
