Curry still unsure if he'll play tonight

HOUSTON — Stephen Curry’s sprained right ankle is feeling better but he isn’t sure if he will be able to play tonight in Game 3 of Golden State’s first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets.

Curry talked about his health after practicing on Wednesday when the team arrived in Houston.

“Based on how I feel right now I probably couldn’t play,” he said. “But tomorrow it could be different.”

Curry missed Game 2 after he was hurt in the opener of the series. The Warriors overcame his absence to get a 115-106 victory and take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Last season’s MVP said he doesn’t feel like he could play right now because he isn’t able to “go full speed, or game speed, I should say and have confidence in the moves I need to do.”

Golden State coach Steve Kerr was encouraged by how Curry looked on Wednesday.

“You couldn’t see anything today as far as a limp,” he said. “So he’s doing a lot better.”

Curry insisted he didn’t look good early in Wednesday’s workout.
