Warriors' point guard Stephen Curry will start Friday night against the Indiana Pacers at Oracle Arena.

Curry has missed the past eight games with a right ankle sprain. He spent about 25 minutes putting the ankle through a workout prior to tip-off, and declared himself ready to go.

The Warriors are 1-4 with Curry in the lineup, and 4-5 when he doesn't play.

Curry missed the third game of the season against New York after straining the ankle for the second time this season. He sprained the ankle again -- for the third time this year -- on Jan. 4 at San Antonio and hasn't played since.
