Steph Curry starts in Warriors vs. Wizards after three game absence – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

On By Littum

Steph Curry’s recent ankle injury absence lasted just one week.

The Warriors’ superstar point guard will return to the starting lineup Monday against the Washington Wizards, Golden State coach Steve Kerr told reporters 90 minutes before tip-off at Capital One Arena.

Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis will start alongside Curry.

Curry has missed the last three games after suffering a left peroneal strain in the Warriors’ loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, October 27.

The Warriors’ medical staff reevaluated Curry on Friday and the team said he was making good progress, but ruled him out for Saturday’s game in Houston.

Curry is averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 assists and 5.3 rebounds in three games this season.

The Warriors won all three games Curry missed, and now they get him back in a tough stretch after the game against the Wizards. Golden State wraps up the road trip against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday before returning to Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
