Kanye West and Timothée Chalamet were among the notable names in attendance at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Christmas Monday to watch the hometown Lakers lose to the Boston Celtics by a score of 126-115.
West, 46, strode forward expressionlessly as he was surrounded by fans looking for autographs and selfies as he made his way to the venue in downtown Los Angeles.
The Grammy-winning artist was accompanied by a security team that kept people at bay who tried to get him to sign.
West, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband, wore a long black leather coat over a black T-shirt and a purple sweatshirt over his head.
West has fallen somewhat out of the spotlight after more than a year of repeatedly expressing anti-Semitic views and praising Adolf Hitler, which led to him losing a series of lucrative partnerships.

NBA icon LeBron James had a busy day with 16 points, eight assists and nine rebounds, but his team fell short on the holiday.
It was the third Christmas Day game between the league's two most storied franchises. The Minneapolis Lakers won in Boston in 1951 and Los Angeles was victorious in 2008.
Kristaps Porzingis had 28 points and 11 rebounds, Jayson Tatum contributed 25 points in the Celtics' win, while Jaylen Brown had 19 points and Derrick White contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds.
All five starters had at least 18 points for the Celtics, who have won three straight and 12 of their last 14.
For the Lakers, Anthony Davis scored a game-high 40 points with 13 rebounds, LeBron James had 16 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, but the team has dropped six of eight points since winning its first in-season tournament.
After falling behind for the only time in the game early in the third quarter when Jarred Vanderbilt threw down a dunk, Boston reeled off seven straight points to retake the lead.
Porzingis had 13 points, helping give the Celtics a nine-point lead heading into Game 4.
Boston successfully kept Los Angeles at bay in the final quarter, although Davis reached the 40-point mark for the 40th time in a regular season game.

The Celtics ran right through the Lakers' starting lineup, scoring the first 12 points, capped by a 3-pointer from Brown, and leading by as many as 18 points in the first quarter.
Thanks to some hot shooting from Taurean Prince, Los Angeles came back in the second period. He had 11 points on all four shots, including three three-pointers, to cut the deficit to 58-57 at halftime.
Both teams got a scare when Brown and James were rocked by a collision with 4:02 minutes left in the second round.
Brown was about to return to the ball when he took a bad step and pulled up, resulting in James kneeing him in the back.
Each player was attended to on the court, with Brown heading back to the locker room before returning to start the third quarter.
