Any time you mention Stephen Curry and an injured ankle in the same sentence, Golden State fans hold their breath.
But it appears they can exhale -- for now, at least -- as Anthony Slater of the San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Curry didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, but is expected to play in Thursday's Game 2 against the Utah Jazz. Curry tweaked his ankle in the second half of Game 1.
Light practice for the Warriors today. Steph Curry didn't participate, but is expected to play in Game 2.

Curry sat out for most of the fourth quarter, but still finished with a game-high 22 points to go with seven rebounds and five assists. After the game both Curry and acting head coach Mike Brown said that the ankle was fine.
Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday at 10:30 p.m. ET in Oakland.
