Aaron Judge, Cam Skattebo take in celebrity-packed Knicks season opener

The Knicks’ season is back — and that means celebrities are out in full force at Madison Square Garden.

Among them were Yankees superstar Aaron Judge and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, who took in the action on Wednesday night as the Knicks opened up the 2025-26 campaign on their home court.

Judge, who hit 53 homers and led MLB with a gaudy 1.144 OPS this season, watched the action courtside with his other half. The couple, who married in 2021 and welcomed their first child this year, has been notoriously quiet amid the limelight of New York, got an up-close view as the Knicks rolled to a 15-point lead at halftime over Cleveland.

Judge was also seen posing for a photo with Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony and the dad of current New York star Karl-Anthony Towns.

Fellow Yankees teammates, pitchers Cam Schlittler and Devin Williams, were also inside the Garden for the action.

The Yankees weren’t the only New York athletes in attendance, though, as Giants star rookie Cam Skattebo joined in on the fun. When he was show on the MSG scoreboard at the start of the second half, the crowd erupted.

The Arizona State product has been a spark out of the backfield for Big Blue this year, recording six total touchdowns while bringing a literal back-flipping energy to the team.

There were plenty of the usual suspects in Midtown, too, as Ben Stiller watched the game with wife Christine Taylor.

Musicians watched intently as well, as Fat Joe and Ed Sheeran sat in the first row. Comedians weren’t left out of the mix, with Jimmy Fallon and Tracy Morgan in attendance.
