Steph Curry leaves the Warriors' open practice tonight favoring the same right knee that forced him to miss 27 games las Via @anthonyVslater on X

What happened: Curry limped off the floor and went straight to the locker room during Sunday night's preseason session, per Anthony Slater and Dalton Johnson. Joseph Dycus noted the guard appeared to tweak the knee on the court before cutting his night short.

Why it matters: Any setback for the franchise cornerstone tests a Golden State front office that placed maximum extension options before Curry this offseason and held onto Jimmy Butler through trade talks. The Warriors have anchored their 2026-27 plans around that veteran core alongside newly extended guard Brandin Podziemski.

By the numbers: Podziemski agreed to a five-year, $110 million extension carrying an $18.9 million first-year salary on Oct. 10, while Golden State trimmed its camp roster Saturday by waiving Alex Toohey, Tyler Burton, and Dalen Terry.

What to watch: Golden State will evaluate Curry's knee ahead of the 2026-27 regular season and the NBA Cup slate opening Oct. 30.
