Although he's behind bars, a certain ex-multiplatinum musician has been given the green light to tune in to some NBA postseason action.
In the midst of a trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, disgraced former hip hop superstar and fashion mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been granted access to a TV with basic cable for Friday night, per TMZ Sports.

A former courtside presence in Madison Square Garden, Combs apparently hopes to check out his beloved New York Knicks as they continue their march through the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Game 6 of the Knicks' second round series against the Boston Celtics on Friday night tips off at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. New York currently leads the Celtics, 3-2.
Boston lost six-time All-Star power forward Jayson Tatum for the rest of the postseason due to a right Achilles tendon tear, incurred in Game 4.
The Knicks won that contest, but somehow dropped Game 5, 127-102, despite fielding a healthy roster, with the Celtics' best player shelved. Now, the action returns to Madison Square Garden. New York can close out Boston on Friday night.
