Stephen Curry is back after his long spell on the sidelines and he immediately took centre stage guiding the Golden State Warriors in a splendid comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry scored a game-high 36 to help the Warriors win 125-116 in overtime.

However Curry spoke about his teammate and brother Andrew Wiggins when he got that spotlight after his magical match-winning performance.

Wiggins last played for the Warriors in February against the Washington Wizards in which he scored the game-high 29 points. But since then he has missed eleven fixtures for the Dubs. His absence is due to personal reasons and Curry was completely empathetic to that decision made by his teammate.

“Friend to friend, teammate to teammate. Just sending him support. This is a tough situation in terms of him being away for so long but necessary. Life is bigger than basketball. Whatever him and his family are going through, that’s all that matters. … I’m sure he’s missing the vibe and being with us, and we miss him too,” said Curry.

It is beautiful how Curry and Wiggins work so hard and impress everyone with their on court exploits but it is the love they share with their dear ones off the court which makes an even bigger impact on their fans.

“It’s interesting because there’s such a big spotlight on what we do on a daily basis, and the fact we have so many people who rely on us on a daily basis, to be able to give that energy back to your family is huge,” Stephen Curry continued.

It is great from the Warriors management that they have managed to keep limelight away from Wiggins and his reason to be unavailable for a month. But that is how the Dubs are as a team and that is why they have been so successful as a franchise over the years. The camaraderie they show towards each other, stands out even when they are on court.

The Warriors are currently sixth in the Western Conference with a 35-33 record. They are behind the Los Angeles Clippers in fifth position. With Curry back, the Warriors will hope to win as many games as possible and enter postseason with that winning momentum as they look to defend their title.

The Warriors will next play the star studded Phoenix Suns as it will be another challenge for Curry to lead his team to victory.
