Latest Update on Stephen Curry's Injury Status

Stephen Curry, star of the Golden State Warriors, did not participate in the team's last preseason game on Friday due to a sprained right index finger. The injury occurred during a practice on Thursday, as reported by coach Steve Kerr before the Warriors' lopsided 132-74 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite Curry's absence, the team achieved a comfortable win to close the preseason.

Kerr mentioned he didn't believe the injury was severe and anticipated Curry would be available for the regular season opener next Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The coach maintained an optimistic outlook on his star's recovery, indicating that resting him in the last game was more of a precautionary measure than a sign of a long-term injury.

Curry originally suffered the finger injury the previous Friday when his finger got caught in a Sacramento Kings player's jersey. As a result, he did not play the following game. Although Curry admitted to still feeling some discomfort, he participated in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, playing with a bandage on his finger that he ended up removing halfway through the third quarter.

Initially planning to use Friday's game as a dress rehearsal for opening night, Kerr aimed to test out key lineups and rotations. However, with Curry's absence, adjustments were made to find the ideal starting five. The preseason allowed Kerr to experiment with different combinations as he seeks the best formula for the team.
