The Story in 60 Seconds

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sparked an injury scare after limping off during an open practice on Sunday. Head coach Steve Kerr clarified that Curry suffered a minor ankle issue rather than re-aggravating his prior knee injury, confirming he completed Monday's practice and is expected to play against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Writer Peter O'Keefe argues that the scare demonstrates the team's extreme vulnerability and heavy dependence on the 38-year-old guard. With key players Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis, and Moses Moody already sidelined, the article contends any extended absence for Curry could quickly derail Golden State's playoff hopes.
