New York Knicks Player Issues Apology to Taylor Swift After Teammate Exposes Video

New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek walked back comments questioning whether Taylor Swift is a genuine basketball fan after teammate Jordan Clarkson shared a video of him singing her music. Kolek had previously suggested during an NBA 2K League appearance that Swift's courtside attendance was performative, drawing an official defense of Swift from the Knicks organization.

Following New York's 109-97 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, Kolek apologized and admitted he had misspoken. Teammates have playfully teased him in the locker room, and Clarkson posted the video on Instagram clarifying that Kolek is actually a fan of Swift.
