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.
