Russell Wilson joins star studded lineup to pose for a photograph with Cavs star after Knicks win

Russell Wilson joined a star-studded lineup of Ciara, Future and Coco Jones to pose for a photograph with Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell after the Knicks secured a win at home.

A Ciara fan page shared the video of the celebrities posing for a picture on X on Thursday. In the video, the Giants quarterback stands on the extreme right of the group, while Mitchell stands on the extreme left.

Donovan Mitchell tried to keep the Cavs in the game all night long. He finished with 34 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 12 of 25 shooting from the field and four of nine shooting from deep.

However, a similar effort from Jalen Brunson turned the tide in favour of New York. Brunson finished with 34 points, one rebound and four assists on 10 of 25 shooting from the field and six of 12 shooting from deep.

Karl Anthony-Towns' game-high 14 rebounds and Mitchell Robinson's 13 rebounds helped the Knicks get second-chance points and gain an advantage over the visitors.
