Brandin Podziemski out for Warriors' season opener against Lakers

Brandin Podziemski will miss the Golden State Warriors' season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday due to lower back soreness. This absence impacts Golden State's offensive lineup, as Podziemski was a key player last season, participating in all 82 games. In addition to Podziemski, Stephen Curry is listed as probable while backup Charles Bassey is a game-time decision. For the Lakers, Walker Kessler is set to make his team debut, while Collin Sexton is considered questionable after missing the preseason. Other notable rulings include the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody, and Jimmy Butler III.
