Warriors star guard Stephen Curry sprained his right index finger and was held out of Golden State’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
Curry sustained the injury during practice on Thursday, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters before the meeting with Los Angeles. Kerr wasn’t overly concerned, though, and he expects Curry to be good to go for Golden State’s regular-season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Kerr was hoping that Friday’s rotation was going to be similar to the one that he plans on using come the regular season, but with Curry out, he was forced to test out different lineups.
In four games this preseason, Curry averaged 11.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He knocked down 28 percent of his 3-pointers.
Curry, 36, appeared in 74 games (all starts) last season, putting up averages of 26.4 points, 4.5 boards and 5.1 assists while being named an All-Star for the 10th time in his career.
