Steve Kerr delivers hopeful injury update on Warriors’ Stephen Curry ahead of season opener
Steve Kerr eases worries ahead of the 2026 NBA season, confirming that Stephen Curry’s right‑ankle injury is minor and the star feels fine. The 38‑year‑old guard, entering his 18th year on a $62 million expiring contract, missed half of the 2025‑26 campaign with ankle, quad and knee issues. Curry averaged 26.6 points on 46.8% shooting in 43 games last season, and the Warriors went 13‑26 without him versus 24‑19 when he played.

Warriors make three unsurprising roster cuts
