Fellow Eagles teammate Jalen Hurts strolled down the red carpet in a black velvet double-breasted Burberry suit that featured floral embroidery on the jacket.
Director and celebrity Knicks fan Spike Lee made sure to don a Knicks hat as part of his ensemble, with his favorite opening its second-round series against the Celtics in Boston on Monday night.
