Curiosity has intensified as it pertains to the frequent sightings of Kim Kardashian at Lakers games lately, with fans speculating over a possible relationship with a player involved in the current series.
The reality TV star has been very present in these NBA playoffs and was seen sitting courtside at Games 3 and 4 of the Lakers’ Western Conference semifinal matchup against the Warriors. Social media was full of questions, with many wondering whether she has a new basketball love interest.
According to TMZ, a source has assured that Kim K isn’t dating anyone on either team, adding she’s only there to support her hometown Lakers and hang out with her friend, Sarah Staudinger.
The source, believed to be close to Kim, insists she’s “absolutely not” seeing any player on either team. It’s also been revealed that the courtside seats belong to Sarah’s husband, Ari Emanuel, who is also Kardashian’s agent.
Kim’s ex-brother-in-law Tristan Thompson is also now part of the Lakers roster and she’s even dropped some photos of the NBA champion online, though it’s understood that she would have attended the games whether he was with the Lakers.
