Andre Drummond’s night against his former team ended in a loss, but the bigger buzz around the veteran center came from the internet’s attempt to connect him to a rumored girlfriend.
After the New York Knicks opened the season with a win over Drummond’s Philadelphia 76ers, fans quickly latched onto a claim from X account “Girl Sniper,” which identified Drummond’s alleged girlfriend as fitness influencer and trainer Sophia Zeilstra. The post featured a screenshot from an intense workout, and it caught on fast, piling up nearly 260K views.
The reaction was immediate and messy. Some fans tied the rumored relationship to Drummond’s play, while others tossed out their own theories about Zeilstra and whether the pairing was even real.
One commenter wrote, “If ya made over a 100 million and ur still in the NBA you are not dating anything but 10’s. Well done Andre Drummond,” while another said, “No wonder he’s playing well.
Herbert take notes,” Another user claimed, “She went to my gym in San Jose Baby girl got a boob job, started influencing, dumped her boyfriend Gio and got with an NBA player lol,” and one more added, “No wonder he lost his legs after the 1st half,”
At the time of writing, there is no verified or public connection between Drummond and Zeilstra. When someone asked for a source, the original poster replied simply, “us.“
On the floor, Drummond put together a strong stat line in the matchup with his former team, finishing with 12 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks. It still wasn’t enough to get the win, and it also left the question hanging: whether he goes home to Zeilstra remains unclear.

Knicks Opener Put One Early Rotation Battle In The Spotlight
The Knicks season opener against Philadelphia did more than leave them with an early loss. It also offered a first look at how the back end of the rotation might shake out, and one of the clearest questions coming out of the night centered on Miles McBride. After an uneven offensive showing and a reduced workload, his role is already worth watching as the staff sorts through how many minutes are actually available behind the main pieces.
There are a few other roster wrinkles worth keeping in mind, too. James Wiseman did not play, but the current state of the backup center spot could still create an opening for him if the Knicks decide they need another look there, while Tyler Koleks path to a larger role looks crowded after veteran Jose Alvarado held up well. It is still early, of course, but the opener gave New York a reminder that some of its most interesting decisions this fall may not involve the headline names at all. [Read more 🡒]
Knicks Young Core Just Got A Timely Boost From A Familiar Name
Dink Pates path back into the pro game turned quickly after the 2025 NBA Draft left him undrafted and initially headed to Providence College to preserve his NCAA eligibility. Once he was ruled ineligible for college basketball, he landed with the Knicks G-League affiliate on an Exhibit 10 contract, giving New York a familiar young name back in the organization and another developmental piece to track.
For a team trying to build a deeper young core while working around limited draft assets and roster pressure, the move carries some real value. The Knicks have been looking for every chance to add talent to the pipeline, and Pates return gives them a player they already know well enough to slot into that broader development plan.

Knicks Have An Early Landry Shamet Decision They Can't Ignore
Landry Shamet got one of the larger reserve guard workloads in the Knicks opener, and the early read was a mixed one. In nearly 25 minutes against Philadelphia, he finished with five points and four assists, but the shot never really came around as he went 2-for-7 from the floor and 1-for-4 from deep in a 106-100 loss.
Even so, the Knicks staff seemed willing to trust him more than the other bench guards, and his passing stood out as a useful part of the night. The question now is whether that playmaking can keep earning him minutes if the jumper stays in the same place, because this is the kind of rotation call that can settle quickly for a team trying to sort out its backcourt early.
