Lexi Sousa, girlfriend of Knicks guard Tyler Kolek, revealed on Wag Talk that he was mistakenly stopped by police twice during the team’s championship parade for mistaking him as a fan. During one incident, while holding a Michelob Ultra and greeting fans, two officers approached Kolek, but were informed by others that he was part of the championship team, leading them to back down. Kolek did not play in any of the 2026 NBA Finals games but averaged 4.4 points and 2.7 assists per game last season.

Story summary
Knicks guard Tyler Kolek’s girlfriend, Lexi Sousa, revealed on Wag Talk that Kolek was mistakenly stopped by police twice during the team's championship parade in New York City. Sousa mentioned this incident occurred because fans mistook him for a regular attendee and not a player. During one of these encounters, Kolek, holding a Michelob Ultra, was grabbed by two officers who initially did not recognize him as a member of the Knicks. Fans intervened to inform the police that he was part of the championship team, after which the officers let him go. Sousa noted that this incident is something “not a lot of people know.” Kolek did not play in any of the 2026 NBA Finals games, where New York won four out of five matches.
