What happened

Steve Kerr said Monday that Steph Curry will be available for Wednesday’s season opener against the Lakers after Curry sprained his right ankle during Sunday’s open practice. Curry also took part fully in Monday’s workout after briefly leaving the floor the day before.

The Warriors remain shorthanded because Brandin Podziemski and Charles Bassey did not practice Monday and are listed as day-to-day for the road game in Los Angeles. Kerr said both are questionable, while the team still plans to practice Tuesday before traveling.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Curry’s availability keeps Golden State’s top usage spot stable for Opening Night, but the back end of the rotation may still change if Podziemski or Bassey cannot go. The final injury report remains the key unknown before the Lakers game.
