Woods, who’s engaged to Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, has previously been candid about her superstitions about her courtside fashion
The New York Knicks’ special no-bag policy for Game 3 of the NBA Finals is presenting a challenge for Jordyn Woods, who brings a “lucky” bag to each of the team’s games.
Ahead of the Knicks game on Monday, June 8, Madison Square Garden and the United States Secret Service announced a no-bag policy for Game 3 and encouraged fans in attendance to “limit personal items to an absolute minimum.” The announcement followed the news that President Donald Trump planned to attend the game at MSG.
The policy has proved inconvenient for Woods, the fiancée of Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, who has previously spoken about her superstitious beliefs about her courtside attire.

In her Instagram Stories on June 8, hours ahead of the game, Woods shared a post from ABC 7’s Jaysha Patel discussing the new policy’s implications on Woods’ superstitious style.
“President Trump will be attending game 3 of the NBA Finals. There is a strict no bag policy tonight,” the reporter wrote, “But please tell me [Woods] is the exception and she can bring her lucky bag😭.”
Woods added in her Story, “Even the news knows how important the bag is 😭.”
Woods previously opened up about her superstitious fashion in an interview with Vogue following Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, during which the Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-93.
“Once playoffs start, everything becomes part of the ritual if we keep winning,” Woods told the magazine. “We’re nine wins in, and now I have my lucky Woods by Jordyn bag, my game-day GRWMs on TikTok, and a watch I refuse to take off. At this point, I’m not risking changing anything.”
“I created a sample of the Tux Clutch Mini specifically for the playoffs,” Woods added of her “lucky” bag. “I wore it for Game 1 during one of my TikTok GRWMs, and ever since then we’ve kept winning, so now it’s officially become the lucky bag.”

The rituals have become so significant, Woods said, that she believed if she didn’t wear the bag and the Knicks lost, fans would call her out on her break in routine.
“It’s gotten to the point where if people don’t see me carrying it during a close game, they start blaming me for changing the routine,” Woods said. “So let’s just say the bag isn’t leaving my side anytime soon.”
