Marissa Ayers enjoyed a first-class night out at the NBA, taking in the matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks from a courtside seat.
The 22-year-old influencer has seen her profile surge in recent weeks after appearing as a ring girl on last week’s Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight card, an exposure that helped her attract a wave of new followers across social media.

Atlanta Roots, Miami Momentum
Although she made a strong impression during the Miami event, Ayers is actually based in Atlanta, a detail that made her VIP invitation to the Hawks’ home game especially fitting.
A former gymnast and cheerleader, she has steadily built an online following that now exceeds 400,000 on Instagram.
