What happened
Stephen Curry rolled his right ankle during Sunday’s open practice in San Francisco and briefly left the floor before going to the locker room. Coach Steve Kerr later said Curry’s knee was not affected and that he was fine after the workout.
The scare came one day before Golden State opens the 2026-27 season against the Lakers, and the report says Curry still appears on track to play Wednesday night. Curry had already dealt with a lingering right knee issue last season, when he played 43 games.
If Curry is available, Golden State’s opening-night rotation stays intact; if not, the Warriors would have to adjust their ballhandling and scoring load quickly. The article gives no indication of any new limitation beyond the brief ankle roll.
