Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers injury reports

The Warriors have only one player on their injury report for Tuesday's game in Las Vegas. Brandin Podziemski is considered day-to-day after suffering a broken nose in Golden State's win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. He won't be suiting up against the Lakers.

Podziemski ran into teammate Trayce Jackson-Davis' elbow in the third quarter. Coach Steve Kerr told KNBR that the second-year guard is doing fine and will be fitted for a mask, which he will wear until his nose fully heals.

On the other hand, the Lakers have five players on their injury report – Austin Reaves, Armel Traore, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Christian Kaloko. Reaves is listed as day-to-day with an ankle injury, while the rest are considered out for Tuesday's contest.

Traore is dealing with a swollen hand and Vanderbilt remains hampered with a foot injury. Wood is expected to be out until November after undergoing a procedure on his knee last month. Kaloko has an unspecified illness, but is expected to be ready on opening night.
