Ciara rooted for the Knicks and their newest star player Carmelo Anthony as the New York team took on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden on Friday (March 4). A smiling CiCi kicked it courtside in thigh-high denim boots with Carmelo’s wife La La Vazquez and her son Kiyan Anthony, who sat on his “aunt’s” lap. Despite the Knicks loss, the BFFs still had a rollicking time, playing with Kiyan and snapping photos on their phones.

The R&B singer recently flew to Vancouver to shoot scenes for the “Hellcats” TV show.

“I want my fans to know that I’m enjoying myself and I think that’s important for them to know that I’m OK,” a resilient Ciara told Rap-Up TV. “CiCi’s gonna be grinding all day. It doesn’t stop, never changes.”
