Riley Curry is still lighting up arenas-but this time, she’s doing it alongside her mom, Ayesha Curry, as they cheered on Stephen Curry during another unforgettable postseason performance.
On Tuesday night, Stephen Curry delivered a throwback performance that reminded fans why he’s still one of the most dangerous players in the league.
Facing the Memphis Grizzlies in a high-stakes play-in game, Curry erupted for 37 points, including a barrage of clutch shots in the final minutes. He nailed three critical three-pointers in the fourth quarter, sparking a 15-point outburst that helped lift Golden State to a much-needed win and locked up the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
Watching from the sidelines were Ayesha and Riley, who celebrated the win in classic Curry family fashion with a postgame dance. The moment quickly went viral, as fans couldn’t help but notice how much Riley has grown. Nearly as tall as her 5-foot-8 mom, she looked poised and confident as she shared the victory moment courtside.
Family energy fuels Steph’s playoff fire in emotional victory over Memphis
Curry’s oldest daughter may not be dancing on press conference tables anymore, but she remains one of the most visible members of the Curry crew. Ayesha and their four children-Riley (12), Ryan (9), Canon (6), and baby Caius (11 months)-have long been fixtures at Warriors games, offering love and energy from the sidelines.
The family even made the trip to Paris last summer to support Curry during the Olympic Games, where he joined Team USA alongside fellow legends LeBron James and Kevin Durant. That tournament ended with a gold medal, adding another accolade to the superstar’s already stacked résumé.
On Tuesday, Curry seemed to draw inspiration from having his family in the stands once again.
The win was especially satisfying given the Warriors’ recent struggles against Memphis. Earlier in the season, the Grizzlies handed them an embarrassing 51-point loss-a low point that seemed to linger until Tuesday’s redemption. With that revenge now secured, Golden State is turning its attention to a highly anticipated first-round matchup against the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets.
