On June 7, fitness influencer CeCe “Carter The Body” Carter took to the hardwood during the annual BET Celebrity Basketball Game held as part of the BET Xperience weekend in Los Angeles. In an Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ9J1ffubbL/), Carter shared an action shot of herself dribbling past opponents, captioning it: “BET Celebrity Basketball Game. 🏀 June 7th BET Xperience weekend!” Her appearance marked one of the first times she’s blended her fitness expertise with a live celebrity sports event.
Event Day Highlights
Spectators gathered under bright arena lights at LA’s Banc of California Stadium, where music stars and entertainment personalities paired off in a 5-on-5 charity matchup. The crowd saw appearances from recording artists, actors and a handful of pro athletes turned guest coaches. Between games, DJ sets and dance routines kept energy high on the sidelines. Organizers estimate the event raised funds for local youth programs, with each basket contributing to a collective donation pool.
Carter The Body’s Court Debut
Decked out in a black-and-gold performance kit and custom sneakers, Carter showcased her agility with sharp crossovers and defensive hustle. Though she’s best known for leading high-intensity workouts on social media, her pull-up jumper in the second quarter proved she can translate gym strength into game action. Postgame, Carter told reporters she was thrilled to experience competitive play: “It’s one thing to coach fitness online; it’s another to test yourself in a real game with so many talented people around.” Fans on Instagram praised her transition from workout trainer to celebrity competitor.
