The Golden State Warriors expect star guard Stephen Curry to be available for the season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, despite a right ankle tweak that occurred during an open scrimmage on Sunday.
Curry, who has been a key player for the Warriors, suffered the ankle injury while practicing with teammates in a pre‑season scrimmage. The injury was described as a tweak rather than a serious sprain, and team medical staff have reported that he is on a recovery plan that should allow him to play.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and the front office have indicated that Curry is expected to be on the court for the first game of the 2024‑25 NBA season. The team is preparing to face the Lakers, who are the defending champions and a long‑time rival.
The opening matchup is scheduled for Wednesday night and will be the first opportunity for both teams to test their rosters after the off‑season. With Curry’s return, the Warriors aim to strengthen their offense against a Lakers squad that has been strong on defense.
While the Warriors have not released a detailed injury report, the announcement that Curry will be available provides a boost for fans and the coaching staff as they look ahead to a competitive season start.
