Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson inspired the heartbroken team

Almost two months ago, the Wichita West High School girls basketball team had to forfeit the remainder of their season as they didn’t have five available players to start a game. Players were not available as many of them expressed disinterest in the program since the season started. Moreover, injuries plagued their squad and only a small group continued to practice basketball after school in hopes of returning to the court next season.

Their dedication towards the game grabbed the attention of the Warriors and the Dubs invited the girls to watch their Tuesday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
