She even sent out another tweet that read, “It’s so loud in here I can’t hear the whistle sometimes.” Which only indicates that she is in the arena cheering her boyfriend on along with the rest of the team.

Wiggins’ return is a huge help to Stephen Curry and the roster

The game between the two teams was fairly even for the first three quarters as the Sacramento Kings went into the fourth with a one-point lead. The usual stars of the Golden State Warriors took on the scoring load.

But the return of Andrew Wiggins surely helped the team as he took some of the load off them, giving the team’s star players enough time to recover on the bench. The Kansas State product led the team in scoring with 17 points in the first three quarters, tying it with Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole’s point total.
