Steph Curry missed the final minute of the Warriors’ win Saturday night over the Wizards with an ankle injury, but Golden State coach Steve Kerr does not believe his star guard will miss much time, if any.
Curry rolled his left ankle late in the game defending against former Warrior Jordan Poole. He blocked a floater attempt by Pool, then was injured after landing. He was down for a few seconds before limping to the bench and did not re-enter the game.
Speaking postgame, Steve Kerr said Curry didn’t believe the injury was serious, though his ankle was wrapped in the locker room. He will be day-to-day, as will Draymond Green, who left the game in the first quarter with calf tightness.

Curry, 36, has a history of ankle issues from his early NBA career but has largely avoided missing time since a 2012 surgery and the Warriors’ ascendance to title contention in 2015.
