‘He’s Fine’: Golden State Warriors Star Stephen Curry Avoided Serious Injury During Open Practice
SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry suffered a right ankle injury during the Golden State Warriors‘ open practice on Sunday (10/18).
The NBA legend limped to the locker room, but Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Curry avoided a serious injury.
“He’s fine,” Kerr said.
The Warriors begin the regular season on October 21 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s unknown if Curry will play.
Curry Played In Only 43 Games Last Season
Curry dealt with patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as “runner’s knee,” last season. The future Hall of Famer played in only 43 games.
The Warriors missed the 2026 NBA playoffs. They haven’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since 2022.
Curry averaged 26.6 points and 4.7 assists per game last season while shooting 46.8% from the field, 39.3% from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the free-throw line. Golden State went 37-45.
Curry and Co. beat the LA Clippers in the 9-10 play-in game but lost to the Phoenix Suns in the 7-10 play-in game.
Curry Signed Extension With Warriors
Curry signed a two-year, $116 million extension with the Warriors this offseason.
The sharpshooter plans to follow Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki by playing for only one NBA team.
“This is home,” Curry said at Warriors media day. “This is what we’ve built. This is a community that I’ve played in front of my entire career. Being able to finish the story the right way is a big part of what I can control.”
Curry was eligible for a two-year, $136.7 million extension.
He took a pay cut to give the Warriors financial flexibility.
“There’s a pride of representing the Bay,” Curry said. “Representing this franchise that when I stepped foot here in 2009 and what we’ve all been able to accomplish — this isn’t just a me thing, this is a we — I want to do right by that. It’s always been an importance for me, and going into this contract decision, that was front of mind.”
Curry holds career averages of 24.8 points and 6.3 assists per game in the regular season and 26.8 points and 6.1 assists per game in the playoffs. He’s a four-time champion, two-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP.
A 12-time All-Star, Curry has made the most 3s in NBA history.
