21 Oct
Summary
- Rookie Cameron Carr and forward Adou Thiero will miss the opener.
- Thiero's knee effusion raises concerns about his athleticism.

The Los Angeles Lakers are already navigating injury concerns just before their season-opening game against the Golden State Warriors. Rookie Cameron Carr and second-year forward Adou Thiero have been officially ruled out for Wednesday night's contest at Crypto.com Arena.
Carr is sidelined with a right oblique strain, while Thiero is experiencing a knee effusion in his left knee, raising questions about his athleticism. Thiero has a history of injuries, playing only 25 games last season.
Veteran addition Collin Sexton, who missed preseason with a lower leg injury, is listed as questionable but showing positive signs of recovery from a right soleus strain.
Despite these setbacks, head coach JJ Redick's starting lineup remains undisclosed, with only Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler confirmed starters. The remaining two spots are expected to be filled by players like Ziaire Williams, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Quentin Grimes, or Matisse Thybulle.
