The Warriors announced that Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Houston, but he practiced Friday and will be re-evaluated Sunday.
Curry is seemingly on track to return for Monday's game in Washington, barring a setback. Saturday's absence will mark Curry's third straight, which has allowed Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters and Brandin Podziemski to handle increased usage. Curry may be limited upon his return, and he's yet to play more than 27 minutes this season, averaging a modest 18.3 points and 6.7 minutes in 26.3 minutes per game through his first three appearances.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Absence streak continues Saturday
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Curry will miss his third consecutive game due to a left ankle strain he sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers. The Warriors will likely work the superstar back to playing form slowly early in the season, though his next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Wizards.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will miss at least two games
Rotowire
The Warriors announced Monday that Curry (ankle) won't play Tuesday or Wednesday against the Pelicans and will be re-evaluated Friday.
Curry twisted his left ankle setting a screen on Nicolas Batum during Sunday's loss to the Clippers and was diagnosed with what coach Steve Kerr called a "mild or moderate" sprain. An MRI on Sunday night revealed no structural damage, but the two-time MVP will still miss multiple games. With De'Anthony Melton (back) also sidelined for at least two games, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield are candidates for increased minutes and usage this week. Curry should be considered questionable, at best, for Saturday's matchup in Houston, but the team should provide another update by Friday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Listed out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Clippers.
This comes from the official injury report, so there isn't much clarity on the severity just yet. To make matters worse for Golden State, De'Anthony Melton (back) is also out and Andrew Wiggins (back) is listed as questionable. With Curry sidelined, Draymond Green is likely to take on a lot of playmaking responsibility, while Brandin Podziemski could see a big uptick in fantasy value.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Won't return vs. Clippers
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Curry left for the locker room in the forth quarter after twisting his left ankle while setting a screen on Nicolas Batum. He was quickly ruled out and diagnosed with what head coach Steve Kerr called a "mild or moderate" left ankle sprain, which could lead to a multi-game absence for the All-NBA point guard. Kerr also noted that Curry will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. If Curry were to be sidelined, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski will be the top candidates to start at point guard and Buddy Hield could see a slight uptick in playing time as well.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Leaves game with ankle injury
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) left for the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Curry rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, but after being evaluated by trainers, he went back into the game in the fourth quarter. Curry rolled his left ankle again while attempting a screen on Nicolas Batum, and the former limped to the locker room shortly after. Curry will likely be done for the rest of Sunday's game, and it remains to be seen if the injury is severe enough to cause the two-time MVP to miss any games.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Chips in 20 points vs. Jazz
Rotowire
Curry ended Friday's 127-86 victory over Utah with 20 points (7-20 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes.
Curry played less than 30 minutes Friday and didn't even see the floor in the fourth quarter as the Warriors enjoyed a second straight blowout victory. Curry has been playing through a right hip contusion, so these low-minute nights should help him reduce any aggravation of the injury. He could see more minutes at home against James Harden and the Clippers on Sunday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Good to go against Utah
Rotowire
Curry (hip) is available for Friday's game versus the Jazz.
Curry has been upgraded from questionable to available despite a right hip contusion. The superstar guard logged just 25 minutes in Golden State's regular-season opener, but that was due to the Warriors pulling him early in a blowout victory over Portland. There is no indication that Curry will be on a minute restriction against the Jazz.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Questionable to play Friday
Rotowire
Curry is questionable to play Friday against the Jazz due to a right hip contusion.
Curry's injury isn't serious, but the Warriors could be cautious with their star playmaker. The sharpshooter posted 17 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Curry totaled 17 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Although Curry's point total was low by his standards, he still managed a double-double in the blowout win. He could have increased his total if he had played in the fourth quarter, but Curry left the court for good midway through the third quarter after rattling off all of his three-pointers in quick succession.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Curry totaled 17 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 victory over Portland.
Curry fell one rebound shy of his 11th career triple-double, and his first since the 2022-23 playoffs. What's most impressive about Wednesday's performance, though, is that the 10-time All-Star did it in just 25 minutes. Due to the lopsided score, Curry spent the final 16 minutes of Wednesday's game on the bench. He led the Warriors in both rebounds and assists.

Curry won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers due to a finger sprain, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Curry sprained the same finger that had been bothering him in the past, and while it's not a serious injury, the Warriors will hold him out from the preseason finale. For what it's worth, head coach Steve Kerr told the media Friday that Curry will be fine for the regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Cold from deep
Rotowire
Curry tallied 16 points (6-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 win over the Lakers.
Although the Warriors lifted their preseason record to 5-0, their fearless leader struggled to find the bottom of the basket. Curry tends to live and die by his perimeter shot, but other scoring and decent assist totals usually salvage his stat line when he isn't dialed in. The prolific All-Star matched Kevon Looney with a team-high six assists in the win.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Playing through minor finger injury
Rotowire
Curry is wearing a small wrap on his right index finger but will play and start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers in Las Vegas, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Curry said he's still experiencing minor pain after catching his finger in a jersey during last Friday's win over the Kings. However, the medical staff doesn't believe there's a major re-injury concern, so the point guard will play through the issue. The Warriors have two preseason games left before opening the regular season against the Trail Blazers on Oct. 23.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Jams finger in preseason game
Rotowire
Curry jammed his finger late in the first half of Friday's 109-106 exhibition victory over the Kings and did not return, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Curry went through his usual postgame workout routine in the weight room, and it does not sound like it should be too much of an issue going forward. Still, it is worth monitoring, as the Warriors will presumably err on the side of caution with their star guard during the preseason. The sharpshooter finished with just six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 16 minutes.
