Even odder than the Golden State Warriors wasting an all-time performance by Steph Curry on Saturday evening was the celebrity that Curry gifted his game-used jersey to afterwards.
Curry went into hyperspace on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, blowing up for 60 points on ten three-pointers. It was just two off Curry’s career high of 62 (set in 2021 against the Portland Trail Blazers) and made him only the tenth player in NBA history with multiple 60-point games.

Unfortunately for The Chef, his eruption was not enough to get the win as the Warriors lost 141-134 in overtime to fall to 21-25 on the year. But Curry was still in a giving mood after the game. He sought out an unexpected celebrity sitting courtside to gift his jersey to — actress Lindsay Lohan.
Here is the video of Curry posing with Lohan and her husband Bader Shammas. Curry also appears to have signed the jersey for the couple.

The former MVP Curry came up to Lohan before the game too and had a brief chat with her.

That is a pairing that not even “Mad Libs” would be able to produce, especially since Lohan *ahem* doesn’t even go here (she is a native of the Bronx and not the Bay). But the connection here actually makes more sense than you might expect. Lohan has a new movie coming out on Netflix next month entitled “Irish Wish.” And guess who has a supporting role in “Irish Wish”? None other than Curry’s wife Ayesha.

Not many Warriors fans walked away from Saturday’s game feeling very happy. But the “Mean Girls” actress Lohan, who has plenty of experience hanging out with famous athletes, had to be pretty pleased about the piece of memorabilia that she came away with.
