Jordyn Woods can't bring her "lucky" bag to tonight's Knicks game.

Madison Square Garden and the United States Secret Service have enforced a “strict no-bag policy” due to President Trump's attendance.

Woods has been bringing the orange purse to every New York Knicks game for the past several weeks.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals will be going a bit differently for Jordyn Woods, who has been bringing a “lucky” bag to every New York Knicks game for the past several weeks.

Ahead of tonight’s game between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, which President Donald Trump will attend, Madison Square Garden and the United States Secret Service released a security update, which enforced a “strict no-bag policy.”

They also shared that fans “should make every effort to limit personal items to an absolute minimum.”

Woods immediately clocked the new rule, and on June 8, she addressed the policy on her Instagram Stories.

A post shared by reporter Jaysha Patel, read: “President Trump will be attending game 3 of the NBA Finals. There is a strict no bag policy tonight. But please tell me @jordynwoods is the exception and she can bring her lucky bag 😭.”

The 28-year-old model reposted it and said, “Even the news knows how important the bag is 😭.” She also shared a meme that shows her fiancé, Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, dunking her bag into the net with the caption, “Karl tonight bringing in @jordynwoods lucky bag.”

In a previous interview with Vogue, the Woods by Jordyn founder discussed her lucky accessory.

“Once playoffs start, everything becomes part of the ritual if we keep winning,” she said after the Knicks won Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals last month.

“We’re nine wins in, and now I have my lucky Woods by Jordyn bag, my game-day GRWMs on TikTok, and a watch I refuse to take off. At this point, I’m not risking changing anything.”

About the bag, Woods said that she created a sample of her brand's Tux Clutch Mini purse specifically for the playoffs.

She added, "I wore it for Game 1 during one of my TikTok GRWMs, and ever since then we’ve kept winning, so now it’s officially become the lucky bag.”

"It’s gotten to the point where if people don’t see me carrying it during a close game, they start blaming me for changing the routine. So let’s just say the bag isn’t leaving my side anytime soon.”

Woods's brand also shared a post to its Instagram Stories saying, “We heard bags aren’t allowed tonight…Don’t worry. We’re running a new play.” The next slide featured the stunt sandal in the shade “summer citrus.”

Perhaps she'll trade her lucky purse for a pair of lucky shoes.
