Landry Shamet: Cammi Aimonetti posts from Game 2 in San Antonio wearing Knicks blue

On June 7, Cameron “Cammi” Aimonetti posted an Instagram photo from in San Antonio showing herself in a blue top with “Knicks” on the front, white pants, an orange bag and white shoes — a public, dateable moment that places the realtor at the heart of New York’s playoff run.

The image matters because the Knicks have been on a 13-game postseason winning streak and stand two more wins away from the franchise’s first NBA championship in over 50 years. Fans and media have tracked who sits courtside as closely as who scores, and Aimonetti’s June 7 post is the clearest timestamp tying her to this moment in the Finals.

Aimonetti has been a regular presence at Madison Square Garden throughout the playoffs and during the , and the new post confirms she traveled to San Antonio for Game 2. She is a New York realtor by trade; she first showed Shamet on her social media page in September of 2024. That September appearance remains the earliest public marker of the relationship — there is no official record of when they began dating.

That personal timeline intersects with a professional one. has averaged 6.6 points per game this postseason, down from 9.3 per game in the regular season. Yet observers have noted that Shamet’s contributions do not always show up in the box score. The shorthand — fewer points, more impact — explains why a girlfriend’s courtside photos draw attention beyond simple celebrity sighting.

The contrast is the story’s friction. A drop from 9.3 to 6.6 points per game is measurable and matters in a tightly contested series, but the narrative around Shamet is not solely about scoring. He is being described as a player whose effect on the floor goes beyond points — the kind of rotation piece whose box-score line understates his value in a winning run. That description sits uneasily against the raw numbers: the scores say one thing, the role players’ praise and the team’s results suggest another.

Aimonetti’s social posts supply the human detail that turns a late-season roster role into a story with faces and travel plans. Her presence at Madison Square Garden and at the NBA Finals tracks with the Knicks’ streak: she has been at multiple playoff games and used the team’s colors and branding in public photos, most recently on June 7 in San Antonio for Game 2. Those images make the household behind a role player visible while the franchise chases a championship that has eluded it for more than half a century.

There is a practical consequence to the timeline Aimonetti offers. With New York two wins from a title, every public appearance and every intimate detail becomes part of the playoff narrative — who supports the players, who travels with them, who occupies the seats at pivotal games. Yet one consequential question remains unanswered: when did Shamet and Aimonetti officially start dating? The public record begins with a September 2024 social-media post but stops short of a confirmed start date.

The Knicks have 13 straight postseason victories behind them and need two more to close a long franchise drought. Whether Aimonetti’s Instagram snapshots become part of a championship scrapbook or simply a travelogue for a realtor who follows the team closely, they mark the present: Shamet is in the thick of a title chase where his scoring has dipped but his impact is often described as larger than the numbers. The single unresolved fact — the official start of their relationship — remains the clearest personal gap as the team races for the finish.
