Warriors head coach Steve Kerr assured that their star man is not seriously hurt

Stephen Curry scored 26 points before exiting with a left ankle injury late in the game, as the Golden State Warriors secured a 122-114 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night.

Curry appeared to twist his ankle after getting tangled with Jordan Poole under the basket but later downplayed the severity of the injury. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also indicated that the star guard did not believe it to be serious.

Andrew Wiggins led Golden State with 31 points and 11 rebounds, while Poole, in his second game back at Chase Center since being traded to Washington, erupted for 38 points.

The Warriors pulled away in the fourth quarter, using an 11-2 run—capped by two Curry three-pointers—to build a double-digit lead with just over two minutes remaining.

Draymond Green, returning after a three-game absence due to illness, left in the first quarter with left calf tightness. He is set to undergo an MRI on Sunday.

Poole had a strong first half, scoring 23 points, as the Wizards took a 60-53 lead into halftime before Golden State rallied after the break.
