A photo went viral of Andre Iguodala apparently holding a bottle of Andrew Wiggins’ “Secret Stuff” during Golden State Warriors-Sacramento Kings Game 1.
The Golden State Warriors began their repeat tour on Saturday night, looking to win the NBA championship for the second consecutive year.
The thing is, they had to go on the road, which has been an issue for them all year long, and face the third-seed Sacramento Kings. But, they did get one of their key players back in Andrew Wiggins, who stepped away from the team due to personal matters.
During Game 1 of their first round series against the Kings, a photo went viral of veteran player Andre Iguodala apparently holding a bottle which said “Wiggs Secret Stuff.” This is a reference to the 1996 film Space Jam, in which Looney Tunes character Bugs Bunny held a water bottle labeled “Michael’s Secret Stuff.”

This was Wiggins return after missing Golden State’s last 21 regular-season games due to personal matters. Ahead of checking into the game, Wiggins received a pep talk from teammate Jordan Poole.
Wiggins didn’t start the game, as he was an option off the bench for Golden State. He had an impressive first half in his return, scoring 12 points while shooting 5-of-8 from the field, blocking three shots and hauling in two offensive rebounds.
Late in the second half, Wiggins had the opportunity to put the Warriors ahead with less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation, having a wide open three point opportunity. Unfortunately, Wiggins’ shot bounced off the rim and into the hands of Damontas Sabonis.
The Kings ended up winning the game 126-123.
In 28 minutes of playing time, Wiggins scored 17 points (7-of-16 from field), blocked four shots, and hauled in three rebounds.
Wiggins and the Warriors will look to even the series with a win in Game 2, which takes place Monday, Apr. 17 at 10:00 p.m. ET on TNT.
