Knicks fans heap praise on Jordyn Woods' 'lucky bag'... with Karl-Anthony Towns' fiancée hailed for helping miracle comeback

Fans are convinced that the New York Knicks are winning games because of an unconventional lucky charm. 

Center-forward Karl-Anthony Towns has been engaged to his influencer fiancée Jordyn Woods since he proposed on Christmas Day in 2025 after five years of dating. The model has seen him through tragedy, as the NBA player lost eight relatives from Covid in 2020. 

Since they met through mutual friends and later developed a love connection in May 2020, Woods has stood by his side. 

She has also sat courtside, showing off her enviable WAG style at New York Knicks games. More importantly, Woods began carrying an accessory that seems to be a lucky charm for the New York basketball team. 

Woods has brought her Woods by Jordyn's Tux Clutch Mini in Orange Ostrich ($125) to every winning game. 

As for the one finals game where she was forced to ditch the bag? The Knicks lost.   

For game three of the NBA Finals on Monday night, security was high as President Trump attended the game, leading to the Secret Service banning bags in Madison Square Garden. 

The bag ban meant that Knicks WAG Jordyn Woods could not get her purse into MSG for the first time. Woods had previously carried the 'summer citrus' handbag during every game of the Knicks' 13-game winning streak. 

During game three of the finals, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Knicks 115 to 111 - and many fans thought the bag ban was to blame.  

One fan tweeted, 'Knicks lost cause Jordyn Woods wasn't able to take her purse.' 

Another wrote on X (previously Twitter): 'Just found out Jordyn Woods has a lucky bag that apparently helps the Knicks win.'

They continued: 'The previous game, Woods did not have her bag because of Trump's no bag policy and they lost the game. Today she brought her bag and they won... definitely confirmation.' 

Woods, 28, was previously famous for her friendship with Kylie Jenner. The pair met in middle school and became inseparable. They even lived together as Woods helped take care of Jenner's daughter, Stormi. 

They had a dramatic friendship falling out seven years ago when Woods was embroiled in a love triangle with Jenner's sister Khloe Kardashian, 41, and Kardashian's then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, 34. At the time, Woods was 21. 

Since their friendship ended, the Los Angeles native has made a name for herself and started her own fashion brand, which is behind the bag. 

Woods previously told Vogue that she created a sample of the Tux Clutch Mini specifically for the playoffs. 

'I wore it for game one during one of my TikTok GRWMs, and ever since then we've kept winning, so now it's officially become the lucky bag,' Woods said, explaining how it became a must-bring. 

'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, so let's just say the bag isn't leaving my side anytime soon.'

Woods was unable to bring her bag to game three, but she was able to make the same fabric into orange ostrich sandals, joking on Instagram, 'One guy's not stopping the show.' 

Once her bag was back, the Knicks staged a historic game four comeback against the Spurs on Wednesday night and are now only one win away from the title. 

Fans are convinced that Woods bringing her bag back is the reason for the triumphant surprise win, creating memes of Towns dunking with her bag instead of a basketball. 

On X, fans said she must bring the bag to game five. 

One supporter wrote, 'The best part of sports is millions of people around the world believing that their superstition is the deciding factor in their team's success,' which Woods liked. 

Her 11 million Instagram followers echoed the sentiment. 'The bag came back, and so did the winnnnn!!!' one applauded.
