Quick Summary

During Golden State Warriors' open practice Sunday, star guard Steph Curry left early with an ankle injury, causing initial concern but coach Steve Kerr later reported Curry is "fine." Curry missed significant time last season due to knee issues and his presence on the court last year correlated with better team performance—24-19 when he played compared to 13-26 in his absence. The article highlights the importance of Curry’s health for this upcoming NBA season, which starts Wednesday against the Lakers, especially since the Warriors will also be without Kristaps Porzingis and Jimmy Butler due to injuries.

Story summary

Stephen Curry left Sunday’s open practice early after tweaking his right ankle in a noncontact play at the Chase Center. Despite initial concerns, coach Steve Kerr said on Monday that Curry is “fine” and expects him to play in the Warriors' season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Curry missed 27 straight games last season due to a knee injury, limiting his appearances to just 43 games as the Warriors missed the playoffs. This year, staying healthy will be crucial for Curry, who recently signed a two-year contract extension worth $116 million but at $20 million less than the maximum offered, reflecting his commitment to finishing his career with Golden State.
