Steve Kerr: Stephen Curry ‘Fine’ After Tweaking Right Ankle at Warriors Practice
Curry’s early exit adds concern for Golden State, which went 13-26 without him last season and opens next week.
On Sunday, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry limped off the court during an open practice at Chase Center after appearing to injure his right leg while attempting a move during a scrimmage.
Initial reports caused concern because Curry previously missed 27 games last season with "runner's knee," but head coach Steve Kerr clarified the superstar suffered a sprained right ankle instead.
"He's fine," Kerr said in his post-practice briefing, noting he spoke with Curry in the training room and the guard appeared to be in good spirits.
Golden State faces the Los Angeles Lakers in the regular-season opener Wednesday, having limited Curry's workload throughout the preseason to protect his health entering his 18th NBA season.
The team is already managing several health issues, as Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody continue to rehab injuries, making Curry's availability critical for the season ahead.
