We’re pretty sure this isn’t on Sydel Curry’s gift registry.
Stephen Curry and his brother, Seth, surprised their sister Tuesday with a wedding present that will likely make her other gifts seem like fondue sets by comparison.The Golden State Warriors superstar, joined by his wife, Ayesha, announced in a video message that the women’s volleyball locker room in Elon University’s new sports arena, the Schar Center, will be named after Sydel.
Sydel, a 2017 graduate of Elon, was in the stands watching the arena’s first intercollegiate game when the video announcing the brothers’ gift was played.

“I just want to say congratulations on getting married this weekend. That’s a big occasion — I know it’s crazy,” Steph says on the video.
“We also want to congratulate you on an amazing career at Elon playing volleyball, all you did for the school and the program and wanted to give it back to you with the new locker room (named) for Sydel Curry. Enjoy it!”
Sydel was a stand-out volleyball player at Elon, leading the Colonial Athletic Association in assists in two of the three seasons she played there.
The gift came a little early as the wedding of Sydel and Warriors G League player Damion Lee is this Saturday in Charlotte.
Here’s what Sydel had to say about the gift on Instagram:
“What started out to be a trip to support @elonvb ended up becoming one of the most memorable evenings of my life. I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to my siblings for this amazing gift! Elon was such a blessing and helped me grow into the woman that I am today. Having the the Elon Women’s Volleyball Locker Room named after me is an honor. Again, thank you thank you thank you to the best siblings in the world! I love you all! Okay, now back to crying.”
