SAN FRANCISCO, California (AFP) — Golden State coach Steve Kerr said superstar guard Stephen Curry was "fine" after limping out of the team's open practice on Sunday.

Curry pulled up short after his right foot skidded on the court as he made a turn.

He immediately pounded the basketball on the floor and made his way gingerly to the sideline before departing for the locker room.

Kerr told reporters after the practice that Curry told him he hurt his ankle, allaying fears that Curry might have aggravated the right knee injury that kept him out of 27 games late last season.

"He's fine," Kerr said.

Curry, a four-time National Basketball Association champion and two-time Most Valuable Player, played in just 43 games last season.

The 38-year-old returned from the knee issue to play the last handful of games and in September the Warriors extended their long-term contract with Curry for two more years in a deal worth a reported $116 million.
