Stephen Curry appeared to tweak his right knee at a Warriors open practice on Sunday.
He limped off the court.
Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area tweeted a video of the injury:

Curry missed 27 consecutive games with runner's knee last season. That was the same right knee as he appeared to tweak Sunday.
Warriors Need Curry to Play More Games This Season
One of the big reasons the Warriors missed the playoffs last year was Curry missed 39 regular-season games.
The Dubs were able to sneak into the play-in tournament as the 10th seed, and they provided the highlight of their season by going on the road and eliminating the ninth-seeded Clippers.
But having to play two road games just to get into the playoffs proved too difficult, as the Dubs were eliminated by the Suns.
With Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody out for months and Kristaps Porzingis out indefinitely, the Warriors might be even more susceptible to an extended losing streak if Curry misses time.
Brandon Williams is the team's backup point guard and would likely see the biggest minutes spike if Curry is out.
Williams gives the Dubs some needed offensive punch with his speed and ball-handling ability, and Yaxel Lendeborg gives Golden State another offensive option as a pick-and-roll ball-handler.
But it goes without saying that the Warriors will have major offensive issues without Curry.
