What happened

Stephen Curry left Golden State’s Sunday open practice after a non-contact lower-leg issue, and a team spokesperson later said he had a moderate ankle sprain.

On Monday, Steve Kerr said Curry was fine, practiced fully, and is expected to be available when the Warriors open Wednesday in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Curry’s availability would stabilize Golden State’s lead-guard minutes for the opener, but the final rotation around the game still depends on how the team manages other injured or uncertain pieces.
