Injury report: Brandin Podziemski ruled out of season opener vs. Lakers

Brandin Podziemski will be sidelined for Golden State's season opener Wednesday due to lower back soreness.

The Golden State Warriors will be without their starter Brandin Podziemski during their season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, according to NBA insider Anthony Slater. Podziemski has been ruled out due to lower back soreness, a significant setback for the team's offense. Podziemski, who played in all 82 games last season, was considered one of the league's Iron Men.

Stephen Curry is listed as probable for the game, while backup big man Charles Bassey is expected to be a game-time decision. Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody, and Jimmy Butler III have all been ruled out, as expected. For the Los Angeles Lakers, Walker Kessler, their big free agent signing, has been cleared to play, while guard Collin Sexton is questionable due to missing the preseason, and rookie Cameron Carr and sophomore Adou Thiero have been ruled out.
