Stephen Curry Cleared for Practice Following Ankle Injury Scare
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry returns to full practice after a recent ankle sprain. Get the latest on his status for the season opener.
POLICY WIRE — San Francisco, USA — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has returned to full team activities following a brief injury scare that occurred during an open practice session at Chase Center.
The veteran guard was forced to exit the floor on Sunday after appearing to slip and sprain his right ankle during a light scrimmage. He was observed limping as he headed directly to the locker room, cutting his participation in the public event short.
Head coach Steve Kerr has since moved to temper concerns regarding the health of his superstar. Kerr confirmed that Curry successfully completed a full practice session on Monday, signaling a positive recovery trajectory.
Despite the progress, the team has officially designated Curry’s availability for the upcoming season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers as a game-time decision, according to reports from ESPN.
Curry, who is 38, faced significant time away from the court last season, appearing in only 43 games due to various health setbacks. The organization remains cautious as they prepare for the start of the regular season.
