Warriors' Steph Curry will play vs. Lakers Wednesday, but Golden State managing other injuries
Stephen Curry is expected to play in Golden State's season opener, as Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed he'll play Wednesday against the Lakers after he had limped out of practice Sunday.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is set to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, despite limping off the floor with a sprained ankle during Sunday's open practice. Curry returned to a full practice on Monday and coach Steve Kerr stated that he is fine. However, the Warriors are also dealing with other injuries that could affect Wednesday's game.
Guard Brandin Podziemski is day-to-day due to lower-back soreness, and center Kristaps Porzingis remains indefinitely sidelined due to ongoing health issues. Additionally, center Charles Bassey may be out with knee tendonitis, leaving Golden State with a thin frontcourt rotation for the opener. The team could also test rookie Yaxel Lendeborg as a small-ball center, though he proved challenging defensively against the Lakers in a recent preseason matchup.
