Steve Kerr updates on Stephen Curry's ankle injury ahead of Lakers opener
Summary

Steve Kerr provided an update on Stephen Curry’s status following a recent injury scare during a practice session at Chase Center on October 15. Curry, who appeared to injure his right knee, actually tweaked his right ankle but reported to Kerr that he was fine. The Warriors enter the regular season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 22 with increased relief, as the injury was not as serious as initially feared. Kerr did not confirm whether Curry would have any limitations ahead of the season opener, which is critical given the Warriors are already managing other injuries to key players.
