USA Olympic hero Suni Lee has poured cold water on rumors that she is dating New York Knicks<\/a> star OG Anunoby.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Lee, a six-time Olympic medalist, was the subject of the rumors after repeated visits to Knicks games last season – where she was often seen deep in conversation with Anunoby.<\/p>\n

It sparked plenty of online speculation, with some joking that Anunoby, 28, had his best games when Lee was courtside but now the gymnast has finally had her say.<\/p>\n

‘Honestly, it just started off as a joke, and I feel like social media kind of just, like, took it further than that,’ she told the Mirror US<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘But yeah, we\u2019re just friends, and I\u2019m really good friends with a bunch of the guys on the Knicks team, like [Karl-Anthony Towns], and then also I\u2019m really close to [Towns\u2019 partner Jordyn Woods<\/a>] as well, so it\u2019s cool to see them doing their thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Honestly, I just enjoy watching basketball, which is why I went to most of the games.<\/p>\n

Online speculation had linked Lee romantically with New York Knicks star OG Anunoby\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There\u2019s nothing there. We\u2019re just friends. I fully support all of them, and I support the Knicks.’<\/p>\n

She added that her friendship with Towns and his wife Jordyn helped her settle when she moved to new York last year.<\/p>\n

‘I met Jordyn and KAT when I was in Minnesota, and when they were in Minnesota as well,’ she said of Towns’ time with the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

‘And then when I moved to New York, he got traded, so it was really nice to see some familiar faces in New York and just keep that friendship.’<\/p>\n

Lee competed alongside Simone Biles at the Paris Olympic Games last summer, winning gold together in the women’s team all-around.<\/p>\n

She added two bronze medals to her tally in the individual all-around and the uneven bars.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving her award for ‘Best Comeback Athlete’ at the ESPYS in Los Angeles this week, Lee paid an emotional tribute to the doctor that helped her overcome a rare kidney disease.<\/p>\n

‘To Dr. Marcia Faustin, she’s actually here in the crowd with me today, thank you\u00a0for guiding me through the toughest moments, reading every scan and report by my side,’ Lee said.<\/p>\n

The Knicks, meanwhile, were knocked out of the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers earlier this year after overcoming the Boston Celtics in a thrilling six-game series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
