Ankle Issue During Open Practice
Stephen Curry slipped while working on the wing against De'Anthony Melton and immediately showed frustration before limping off the floor. Teammates stopped to check on him and several staff members followed him down the tunnel. The right ankle tweak occurred during the team's open practice session in San Francisco.
History Prompts Cautious Approach
Curry missed 43 games last season, including 27 because of ongoing pain and swelling in the same right knee. The team has deliberately reduced his practice repetitions and preseason minutes this year to manage his workload.
Status Remains Positive Ahead of Opener
The tweak was described as minor and not a major concern. No immediate update was given on his availability, yet the organization indicated the issue would not require significant time away. The Warriors begin their season Wednesday night against the Lakers in Los Angeles.
