SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole have challenged each other since the Golden State Warriors drafted Poole 28th overall in 2019. They would see who could make more shots in a row in practice and go at it in scrimmages, friendly competition that helped bring out the best in each other.

Stephen Curry scored 26 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the final minute as the Golden State Warriors beat the Washington Wizards 122-114 Saturday night. Curry got tangled with Washington's Jordan Poole under the basket and was down on the court for a few seconds before heading to the Warriors' bench.

Speaking postgame, Steve Kerr said Curry didn’t believe the injury was serious, though his ankle was wrapped in the locker room. He will be day-to-day, as will Draymond Green, who left the game in the first quarter with calf tightness.

Stephen Curry expects to play against the Celtics on Monday after exiting the Wizards game with an ankle injury.
