The New York Knicks have a day off after defeating the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night, and Austin Rivers wanted to use that time to get some practice in.
While Rivers wanted to practice, it's evident—by looking at Rivers' social media—that his girlfriend Audreyana Michelle had other plans for his day off.
“I pulled up… She HOT right now 😂”
Austin Rivers’ girl was pissed since she wanted to spend time with him and he just wanted to get some work in at the gym.

In the video, Austin Rivers appeared to just arrive at his house before informing Michelle that he wants to put some shots up on his day off. That didn't go well with his partner, who pointed out that she hasn't spent much time with him since Christmas.
Despite his girlfriend's plea to have him relax on his day off, the video ends with Rivers at New York's practice facility. Given that, it is assumed that the Knicks guard got his wish of being able to practice on his one-day break.
Following a matchup versus the Milwaukee Bucks on December 27, the Knicks have had a four-game road trip. From December 29 through January 4, New York has faced the Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, and the Hawks on the road, posting an impressive 3-1 record in that span.
As for Rivers, he has only played in the past three games due to being inactive to begin the season. Throughout his first three games with the Knicks, Austin has been a valuable bench player for New York, averaging 10.0 points and 2.7 assists while shooting 46.2 percent from 3-point range.
Even though it's typical for athletes to spend their days off to practice their craft, Rivers seems to have gotten himself in some deep trouble.
