Steph Curry is available to play for the Golden State Warriors ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Curry has been on the sidelines for the past three games. He went down with a left ankle injury in the Warriors' 112-104 loss to the LA Clippers on Oct. 27.
Curry rolled his ankle last in the third quarter before tweaking it again in the fourth once he returned to the floor. Fortunately, it didn't turn out to be a long-term issue as initially feared. He's in contention to make his comeback after a week's rest. He was listed as questionable earlier and was a game-time decision.
According to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Curry's final decision will be made on the morning of the game after he assesses his conditioning.

The Warriors get a solid boost upon his return. They managed to win without him, and his inclusion will only make their lives easier against an underperforming Wizards team. It'll also help Curry get some reps ahead of the Warriors' big-time matchups against the Boston Cetics, Cleveland Cavaliers, OKC Thunder and Dallas Mavericks.
