George Kittle and his wife Claire are given a rapturous reception as they turn up courtside for Golden State Warriors game… after tight end helped 49ers book a Super Bowl spot

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire received massive cheers from the crowd while attending the Golden State Warriors’ 119-107 win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The couple received their ovation while being directed to their courtside seats while 76ers small forward Tobias Harris was attempting to shoot free throws with 1:01 remaining in the first quarter.

Kittle and the 49ers are set for a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on February 11th.

The five-time Pro Bowler and his wife have been married since 2019 after meeting each other as freshman while attending the University of Iowa.

While attending the school Claire was also an athlete and played basketball for all of her four years before a knee injury cut her final season short.

Kittle was once again a fundamental part of the 49ers offense this season and finished the regular season with 65 catches, 1,020 yards, and six touchdowns in the 16 games he played in.

He has also been efficient throughout the 49ers postseason run this year and has recorded six catches for 108 yards and a touchdown so far.

Kittle was also seen dapping up Warriors point guard Stephen Curry moments after the final buzzer of Golden State’s win.

Curry finished the game with 37 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.

76ers center and reigning MVP Joel Embiid exited the game with what appeared to be a knee injury that he suffered during the fourth quarter after Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga laned on his leg while diving for a loose ball.
