Jordan Clarkson has been friend zoned.
When speaking with TMZ, singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha shut down the idea that there was a romantic spark with the Knicks guard after the two spent a day together last month.
While taking pictures with fans, Rexha shook her head, saying “friends” to the outlet.
The two spent a day in New York City together at the end of July, starting with an art session with artist Leopoldo Gout.
The two posed in fun photos together, including one with Clarkson’s arm around Rexha.
Later in the night, they were seen at a Vogue event at Rockefeller Center.
Both wearing black outfits, Rexha and Clarkson posed for pictures at the event as well.
The happenings sparked romance rumors between the two.
Clarkson is on a high after winning an NBA championship with the Knicks in June, marking the franchise’s first title since 1973.
The 34-year-old joined the Knicks only last season and after an inconsistent regular season, he emerged as a reliable bench piece in the playoffs.
Clarkson re-signed with the defending champs on a one-year deal worth $3.9 million in July ahead of his 13th season in the NBA.
The Knicks were also able to bring back Landry Shamet, Jose Alvarado and Mohamed Diawara. Mitchell Robinson went to Boston and free agent Andre Drummond replaced him for a total of $17.5 million against the cap between the four players.
Clarkson recently found himself in the headlines after he was removed from a New York club for stepping in during a bottle throwing fight involving Travis Scott.
He attempted to de-escalate the situation after the rapper’s entourage started throwing bottles. He wound up being escorted out from a star-studded party at Zero Bond, a members-only social club in the city.
