Stephen Curry expected to play Wednesday against the Lakers after injury scare

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry appeared to face a setback during Sunday’s open practice when he limped off the court, raising concerns about his availability for the team’s season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Initial speculation suggested a potential knee issue, given his history with that injury, but Warriors head coach Steve Kerr quickly clarified that Curry had tweaked his ankle and was not dealing with the same knee problem that sidelined him for much of last season.

Kerr confirmed Curry participated in Monday’s practice and is expected to take the floor for the opener, where his scoring prowess and playmaking will test a Lakers defense featuring younger perimeter defenders like Quentin Grimes, Matisse Thybulle, and Ziaire Williams. Last season, Curry maintained his elite status with averages of 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 39.3% from three and 58.4% on two-point attempts—figures that underscore his continued dominance as the league’s premier shooter.
