Pacquiao, a former Philippine senator, remains one of the most celebrated figures in boxing, while Clarkson has represented Gilas Pilipinas in the 2023 FIBA World Cup and the 2018 Asian Games.

In recent days, Pacquiao has made several appearances at major sporting events across the United States. He threw the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium and attended games featuring the LA Clippers, LA Kings, and LA Galaxy.

The eight-division world champion is also set for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. later this year.

The Knicks, meanwhile, defeated the Raptors, 112-95.
