Steve Kerr: Stephen Curry ‘fine’ after tweaking right ankle at Warriors practice
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry appeared fine after injuring his right ankle during a non-contact play at a fan-friendly practice on Sunday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Kerr stated, "He said he's fine," after the practice held at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Curry is set to kick off the upcoming NBA season on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. In a recent development, the 38-year-old Curry inked a two-year contract extension worth $116 million, a discount from the maximum offer of $20 million more. This extension was reached last month and marks Curry's 18th season in the NBA, with him pledging to spend his entire career with the Golden State team.
Last season, Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. However, he was sidelined for a significant portion of the campaign due to injuries. Specifically, he missed 27 consecutive games and over two months towards the end of the season due to a right knee injury. Despite this, the Warriors failed to make the playoffs, ultimately losing in the play-in tournament to Phoenix.
