Warriors star Stephen Curry scores 24 points in return from ankle injury
Stephen Curry reacts during his triumphant return to the court, a win over Washington for Golden State’s fourth straight.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A point a minute was plenty for Stephen Curry in his first game back from an ankle injury.
Curry scored 24 points — while playing only 24:05 — in Golden State’s 125-112 victory over the Washington Wizards on Monday night. The Warriors were careful with their 36-year-old star after he missed three straight games.
Curry started the game but did not start the second half. He was on the court in crunch time.
“We had a minutes restriction on him at 24,” coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s tough with a minutes restriction to start and finish. So that was our solution.”
The Warriors (6-1) are off to an impressive start despite Curry’s brief absence. Their bench in particular has made huge contributions, and the reserves scored another 60 points Monday.
Of course, Golden State hasn’t had the toughest schedule so far, with games against Portland, Utah, the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans and Houston before facing the Wizards.
