WASHINGTON — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry returned to the lineup Monday night at Washington after missing three games because of a left ankle injury.

Coach Steve Kerr said before the game Curry would be in the starting lineup. The star guard then opened the scoring with a 3-pointer on his first shot attempt.

The Warriors have won five of their first six games this season, including three in a row without Curry. The 36-year-old Curry was injured in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 27. An MRI showed a left peroneal strain.
