Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan excitedly watch a Knicks basketball game in NYC
Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan excitedly watched the New York Knicks basketball game on Sunday.
The Back to the Future actor, 61, and the Family Ties actress, 62, sat courtside as they cheered on the NYC team, as they have done for many years.
Despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, Michael seemed to enjoy the game and was even dressed in a Knicks bomber jacket.
He also wore a white t-shirt under his jacket, black jeans and white Nike sneakers.
The alumnus of Family Ties, the show he met Tracy on, wore his brown hair a little unkempt and donned glasses as he watched the game.

Next to him, Tracy looked comfortable in a colorful knit sweater and wide-leg jeans, which she rolled up at the bottom.
She put her black leather jacket on her lap and on her feet she wore a pair of matching black boots.
The beauty accompanied various gold jewelry, including necklaces and earrings.
She wore her blonde hair in light waves and went for a minimal makeup look with just mascara, eyeliner and some lip gloss.
The pair posed for a few photos during the game and were also captured engrossed in the game.
For one shot, the Teen Wolf star smiled sheepishly as his wife looked up at the jumbotron. In another, she smiled at the camera as he watched her.
The parents of four had a packed weekend and also attended a Bruce Springsteen concert at Madison Square Garden.
Tracy shared several photos and videos from the night on her Instagram stories for her 126,000 followers to see.

Michael and Tracy met after she was cast as his girlfriend in his 1980s hit comedy show Family ties in 1985, though the two didn’t become a couple until they made the 1988 movie Bright Lights, Big City.
Fox then discovered he had Parkinson’s disease after waking up in 1990 after a night of drinking and his little finger was shaking.
After it wouldn’t stop, he went to a neurologist in 1991 and was diagnosed with the disease. He would hide it for seven years by carrying props in his left hand.
Since his diagnosis, the iconic actor has focused his life on raising money to research the disease.
Since then, he has raised more than $1 billion in research funding through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
In November, Fox received an honorary Academy Award for his work on the disease.
He also made a documentary called Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, which debuted at Sundance in January and is heading to Apple TV+ on May 12.
In the movie, fans will see the actor, who has a net worth of $65 million, working out with a trainer to build strength, walking the streets of Manhattan and falling repeatedly.

Star: He was diagnosed with the disease at the height of his career, which led to him taking on fewer and fewer roles; seen in Teen Wolf in 1985
Pete Hammond of Deadline wrote that the documentary “has the spirit of the kind of ’80s movies that helped make Fox a very big star on screens both big and small”.
According to the award’s columnist, the film explores Michael’s life, from growing up in Canada to dropping out of school at age 17 to gamble on a career in Hollywood.
Despite the rigors of the disease, the actor said during the Sundance Q&A, “It’s a great life and I’m enjoying it.
“I love my family, I love what I do, I love people commenting on what I do. I know that I can be an example to other people and help them solve their problems without them asking me [to] put strength of myself on them.’
