Curry Probable to Play After Injury Scare

On Sunday’s open practice at the Chase Center, Warriors fans, staff and players held their collective breath after Steph Curry tweaked his right leg during a routine play.

Curry exited the court limping and was checked on by trainers. More angles of the injury pointed to a potential sprained ankle, which has been a common theme in his career.

Head coach Steve Kerr told reporters that Curry’s ankle is fine, though there was skepticism from the fanbase.

According to the Warriors’ official injury report for the season opener against the Lakers, Curry is listed as probable with right ankle soreness.

Curry will likely get upgraded before tip-off, especially once he goes through his pregame routine.
