Stephen Curry is set to play in the Golden State Warriors’ season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, despite tweaking his right ankle during an open scrimmage on Sunday. Curry rolled his ankle on a dribble move and limped off the court, causing concern among teammates and fans. However, he participated fully in practice the next day and reassured coach Steve Kerr that he was ‘fine.’ The medical staff cleared him to continue his preparation, and he’s expected to face the Lakers after another practice session. At 39 years old, Curry has been managing a persistent knee issue that kept him out of 27 games last season, so the Warriors are being cautious with his workload. In other news, the team will be without starting wings Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler III due to knee injuries, center Kristaps Porzingis with a health issue, and guard Brandin Podziemski is questionable with back tightness.
