Quick Summary

Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, announced that star player Stephen Curry will likely play in the upcoming season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers despite leaving Sunday’s practice due to an ankle injury. Kerr confirmed Curry practiced fully on Monday and is expected to be fit for Wednesday's game. Last year, when Curry missed significant time due to knee issues, the team struggled; they were 24-19 with him compared to 13-26 without him. Additionally, the article mentions that Jimmy Butler and Kristaps Porzingis will not play in the season opener due to their own 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.
