As the Golden State Warriors gear up for another NBA season, all eyes are on the court as the team chases its fifth championship in 11 years. But one person who’s been stealing the spotlight lately isn’t a player—it’s Andrew Wiggins’ girlfriend, Mychal Johnson.
Johnson, a social media personality and influencer, recently took to her Instagram to showcase a series of eye-catching game-day outfits, much to the delight of Warriors fans and the team itself.
In a post captioned “Bout that time to bring back the game day fits,” Johnson showcased a range of looks, from custom-made Warriors jerseys and sweatshirts to simple yet stylish white tops. The post even caught the attention of Wiggins himself, who responded with a string of heart-eyed emojis, and Steph Curry’s sister, Sydel, who enthusiastically wrote, “We need it!!!!”.
One local reporter commented, “Mychal’s game day outfits are currently the topic of conversation.” “She’s clearly got a real passion for supporting her boyfriend and the Warriors, and her fashion sense is impeccable. Fans are eating it up.”
Indeed, the Warriors faithful, eager to see their significant others embrace the spotlight, have responded favorably to Johnson’s fashion-forward approach to game-day style. And with Wiggins coming off a difficult 2023-24 season, in which he averaged just 13.2 points per game, the added support from his longtime girlfriend could be a welcome boost as he looks to regain his momentum.
“It seems like Mychal is ready to cheer on Andrew and the rest of the Warriors from the stands this season,” the reporter added. “Her enthusiasm and style are sure to be a big hit with the fans.”
But Johnson’s influence extends beyond just game-day fashion. The couple also shares two young daughters, Amyah and Alayah, and recently celebrated Amyah’s sixth birthday in style, with Johnson sharing a glimpse of the birthday prep on her Instagram.
Johnson posted a photo of the girls getting their nails done with the caption, “Birthday prep for Myah.” After the pampering session, she took the kids to a birthday pizza party, showcasing the family-oriented side of her life away from the court.
As the Warriors continue to fine-tune their rotation and starting lineup for the upcoming season, the team’s coaching staff has been experimenting with different combinations during the preseason. In a recent victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, head coach Steve Kerr opted for a larger starting lineup that featured Wiggins and fellow forward Jonathan Kuminga.
“The key is JK and Wiggs running the floor,” Kerr said after the game. “It puts a lot of pressure on teams, so they set a good tone; the way they got downhill with or without the ball, they were on,” Kerr said after the game.
Wiggins, who missed much of the team’s training camp due to illness, seemed to thrive in the new-look starting unit, scoring 11 points and grabbing 3 rebounds in his preseason debut. And with the Warriors’ depth and versatility on full display, Kerr has hinted that he may experiment with a range of lineups throughout the season, keeping opponents on their toes.
As the Warriors continue to fine-tune their roster and prepare for another championship push, one thing is clear: Mychal Johnson and her stylish game-day fits are sure to be a constant source of energy and support for the team and its fans. And with the Warriors’ sights set on another title, the added enthusiasm and excitement from the sidelines could prove to be a valuable asset in the team’s quest for glory.
