Stephen Curry 'fine' after leaving practice early after tweaking ankle ahead of season opener

The Golden State Warriors opened their 2026-27 NBA campaign with a cloud of uncertainty after Stephen Curry exited early from practice with an ankle tweak, raising concerns just days before their season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors, already dealing with key absences like Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, and Kristaps Porzingis, will face the Lakers on October 21 at Crypto.com Arena without their full roster.

Curry’s limited availability last season—appearing in just 43 games due to a lingering knee injury—has heightened scrutiny over his workload, with coach Steve Kerr emphasizing a cautious approach to managing his minutes. Meanwhile, the Warriors have also made roster adjustments, waiving three players—Alex Toohey, Dalen Terry, and Tyler Burton—as they finalize their lineup for the critical matchup.
