NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns girlfriend Jordyn Woods shares ‘team mascot’ prep ahead of playoffs image

The New York Knicks are headed to the playoffs, and Karl-Anthony Towns' girlfriend, Jordyn Woods, has been busily preparing for it. 

On Thursday, Woods, 27, shared a post to her Instagram Stories detailing her ritual to get ready for the big game.

Although she'll just be watching her on the sidelines, the NBA WAG still likes to indulge in a little self-care beforehand.

"It's that time of the year again where I start posting like the team mascot," Woods captioned the post, alongside the hashtag "playoffseasonishere." 

She included a photo of herself lying unclothed on a bed with a white sheet draped over her body while getting a facial treatment. 

Her hair was pulled back tightly in a headband, while someone applied a probe to her face. 

This will be Towns' first playoff game with the Knicks. 

The 29-year-old NBA star was traded to the New York team in October after spending nine seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves

The Knicks will play the Pistons in a first-round Eastern Conference playoff series, beginning with Game 1 on Saturday, April 19.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods' relationship timeline

Towns and Woods were friends for several years before becoming a couple in 2020. 

"I think it's kind of cool dating your best friend," Woods shared during her Instagram series "Regular-ish" in September 2021. 

"We know each other. We know each other's hearts. We know each other on good days and bad days and we've been through a lot of bad days together," she added. 

Towns made a cameo in the video and revealed that the two had several friends in common before they become a couple.

"And ever since then, our relationship grew where we became more than friends. I'm not saying in that way, but just best friends. And then we started having a deeper relationship," the NBA player said.

Before dating Towns, Wood first rose to fame on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," where she made several guest appearances as Kylie Jenner's best friend. 

That friendship was sidelined for a bit after the internet exploded when it was reported that Woods kissed NBA star Tristan Thompson, who was dating Kylie's sister, Khloe Kardashian, at the time. 

The cheating scandal reportedly happened in 2019 at an after-party at Thompson's house. 

After the scandal, Kardashian dumped Thompson and publicly shamed Woods on social media for breaking up her family. 

The women have since reconciled their differences.
