The Spurs say their ticket policy is nothing new ... and has been that way the entire playoffs.

"The 150-mile radius restriction introduced during the Playoffs remains in place throughout the NBA Finals. This allows us to continue prioritizing local fans across San Antonio, Austin and surrounding communities."

Suddenly, there's a "No City Slickers" rule in place for the NBA Finals game 5 ... the San Antonio Spurs are yanking tickets away from Knicks fans hoping to watch their team win its first 'chip in 53 years.

The message is loud and clear on the Ticketmaster page for Spurs tickets ... anyone buying tickets for Saturday night's crucial game will be blocked if ya ain't from 'round these parts. The actual warning reads, "Sales to this event will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center" ... the Spurs home arena.

Even if you're an out-of-towner who already has tickets, you're likely to get screwed, too. The Ticketmaster warning adds, violators of the rule will have their tickets "canceled without notice" ... but you will get a refund.

Barbara Palvin put her growing baby bump on display to watch the USA-Paraguay FIFA World Cup match with hubby Dylan Sprouse!

Check it out -- the model wore a full-length black skirt paired with a high-neck jacket to Friday's game ... but she gave her belly some breathing room by leaving the jacket unzipped below her chest.

Dylan matched her all-black 'fit with one of his own ... wearing a long-sleeve button-down paired with slacks and dress shoes as they headed to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to watch the big World Cup match.

Tomorrow!!! The sprawling lawns of the White House will be slammed with fist-flying action as UFC Freedom 250 brings some of the sport's biggest stars to the nation's capital.

From championship clashes to heavyweight fireworks, the historic event is set to deliver a knockout night in front of a uniquely American backdrop ....

Before the fighters step into the spotlight, can you identify the shredded studs from their bulked-up shots?!

Taylor Swift isn't taking any chances when it comes to keeping details of her wedding to Travis Kelce under wraps ... 'cause TMZ has learned guests are required to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement before receiving information about the highly anticipated event.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... family and friends who received coveted invitations were also sent an iron-clad NDA.

As TMZ first reported ... Taylor called up guests last month to personally invite them to the wedding, which is expected to take place July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

Hank Azaria is not happy that Taylor Swift was courtside for the Knicks game ... while he had to watch their insane win from the nosebleeds.

"The Simpsons" voice actor went on "The Dan Le Batard Show" Thursday to complain that the pop star was taking up not one, but several seats on Celebrity Row for Game 4 Wednesday.

He told the show's hosts ... "I'll tell you, the one that bothered me was Taylor Swift." "The Birdcage" star noted that while TS was front row, he was "way up in what they call the Cisco Suites," which he says are practically on the ceiling.

Tiger Woods looks as good as a hole-in-one ... appearing happy, rested, and recovered after leaving rehab.

The legendary golfer was seen for the first time in several weeks ... returning to Jupiter, Florida, after coming back from Switzerland, where he went through rehab ... flashing a smile Friday as he walked out of a private airport.

Tiger wore a pair of white athletic shorts and a long-sleeve black shirt ... and it looked like he had a dog in tow.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting hitched at Madison Square Garden ... and some businesses in the area fear the grand spectacle will be a pain in the ass for them.

TMZ reached out to several independent joints around the Garden -- all bars and restaurants -- and not a single one has received any information about the upcoming wedding, including security issues that might occur for such an epic event.

A few places even told us they were dreading the wedding ... because if it's anything like the area being locked down for President Trump at the Knicks game, July 3 will be a "disaster."

David Beckham scored one of Hollywood's biggest honors ... officially getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... and while one of his sons wasn't there to celebrate him, he got support from Tom Cruise.

The soccer legend was all smiles Friday as he unveiled his new star alongside wife Victoria Beckham and children Harper, Romeo and Cruz -- plus longtime pal Tom, who was practically honorary family for the day.

Brooklyn Beckham was noticeably absent ... but that's hardly a surprise ... given the family's ongoing drama.

Ryan Reynolds is looking to score a distraction ... stepping out for a World Cup match just as his wife, Blake Lively, absorbed a legal setback in her battle with Justin Baldoni.

The actor was spotted in Toronto for the Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina game Friday afternoon, appearing relaxed and in good spirits as he took in the action from the stands.

The outing comes right after we broke the story ... Blake struck out in her bid to collect damages from Justin and Wayfarer -- though she did score one win, with the court ruling they must cover her attorney's fees.

Wu-Tang Clan is being hailed by New York Knicks' fans as the savior of their historic NBA Finals comeback win ... and while RZA wouldn't say they helped the Knicks triumph, he tells TMZ the iconic group brought a spark to a deflated Madison Square Garden.

Here's the deal ... the Knicks were getting destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs at halftime of Game 4 when Wu took the floor for a performance that got the place rockin' and rolling.

RZA tells TMZ ... the group had to dig deep ... because they were also super bummed by the Spurs having their way with their team ... so they changed some lyrics to include the Knicks in their songs to make sure fans got back in the mood ... and the rest is, well, history.

It's full speed ahead for UFC Freedom 250 at the White House ... 'cause a federal judge in D.C. just shut down a desperate attempt to KO the event!

Two Virginia residents filed a lawsuit earlier this month, arguing the "Claw" structure on the South Lawn was just too damn ugly. As part of the civil suit, they requested a temporary restraining order, which would've barred the event from taking place on Sunday.

But, President Trump and his good buddy Dana White can rest easy 'cause U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta firmly denied the TRO, ruling there was no real concrete injury.

The judge basically said that not finding the claw aesthetically pleasing wasn't enough to warrant a restraining order.

Stefon Diggs just scored another significant victory after his former chef case -- the NFL star will not face punishment from the league after an investigation determined he did not violate its personal conduct policy.

Diggs -- who was found not guilty of strangulation and assault and battery last month -- was under the NFL's microscope ever since the allegations surfaced back in December.

Despite the serious claims made by his female staffer, Diggs continued to play for the remainder of the New England Patriots' postseason run, which ended in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

Elon Musk is expected to be among the VIP guests at UFC Freedom 250 this weekend at the White House ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Sports .... the world's richest man plans to attend the historic event on the White House South Lawn on Sunday, when the UFC stages one of the most unique fight cards in company history.

Our sources tell us Elon and President Donald Trump have patched things up following their highly publicized falling-out earlier this year ... and we're told the two reconciled during a trip to China in May after months of tension.

Jake Paul's putting a big ass, patriotic bet on the United States Men's National Team to win the World Cup -- an enormous longshot -- and he stands to win $1.776 million!!!

The Problem Child went to Polymarket and made the longshot of all longshot bets ... the U.S. to do the seemingly impossible and win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The odds are +5636, meaning Jake is risking $32,489.98 ... with the potential to win over 1 and three-quarters million dollars.

Taylor Swift found herself a pretty high-profile cameraman ... because Steven Spielberg was literally directing her from the sidelines during a hilarious moment at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ... and it's all on video.

The singer was at NYC's Marriott Marquis Hotel with fiancé Travis Kelce, vibing to John Fogerty and his sons performing "Fortunate Son" when she started striking poses for her phone ... before handing it to the Oscar-winning director sitting right beside her.

The legendary director didn't disappoint. Instead of a quick point-and-shoot, Steven had Taylor fully sell the scene ... leaning in, hamming it up and serving main-character energy while he filmed from his chair.

Jonathon Cooper found himself in handcuffs for the second time in a week after he was arrested Thursday night ... this time for allegedly harassing the woman he was involved in an altercation with during his June 4 arrest.

Jail records show the 28-year-old Broncos OLB was arrested at 10:07 PM ... and booked into the Douglas County (CO) Jail.

It's unclear exactly what allegedly unfolded, but Cooper is now facing four additional charges -- two domestic violence counts, harassment based on repeated phone calls, and violating a protective order -- in addition to the domestic violence and criminal mischief charges he was already hit with by prosecutors.
