Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry suffered an ankle injury against the LA Clippers last week that caused him to miss three games. The Warriors went an impressive 3-0 in these games, relying on their depth which has led to Steve Kerr playing an unconventional 12-man rotation.

Curry was re-evaluated Sunday ahead of Golden State’s game against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Having gone through his usual pregame routine against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, Curry appeared to be on track to return against Washington, and that’s exactly what will happen.

Speaking to reporters before Monday night’s game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that Curry is available Monday and will return to Golden State’s starting lineup.

This is a big boost for a Warriors team that is off to an impressive 5-1 start to the new NBA season. It was certainly concerning when Curry suffered an ankle injury, because while the Warriors have plenty of depth, they don’t have that prototypical second star that was projected to make up for Curry’s absence.

Doing so collectively, the Warriors have gotten solid performances from top to bottom across their roster, which they hope continue now that Curry has returned.

Looking to re-enter the Western Conference playoff picture after missing the playoffs last season, the Warriors have certainly started the season strong.
