It's that time of year again: the NBA Playoffs.

Which means it's also time for a favorite staple: celebrities showing up at Phoenix Suns playoff games.

The deeper we get into the playoffs the more celebrities we see. Guy Fieri is hoping to make some appearances, for instance.

But there were some stars present for the Suns' 112-97 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at Footprint Center on Tuesday. Cedric the Entertainer was one celebrity spotted by TNT's cameras during the broadcast.

Larry Fitzgerald and Floyd Mayweather were at Suns-Pelicans Game 5

Boxer Floyd Mayweather was also there, and not for the first time this series. He was also seen at Game 2 in Phoenix on April 19.

And of course former Arizona Cardinals great Larry Fitzgerald was there — he's a minority owner of the Suns.

Also in attendance: Derrick Rose, most recently with the New York Knicks, but an NBA Most Valuable Player with the Chicago Bulls in 2011.

The Suns hold a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series. Game 6 will be played at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, and seen on Bally Sports Arizona and TNT.
