Hu Yong s injury report for the opening game! Two players are absent and two are doubtful. James will not be able to face Curry.

On October 20, the NBA’s new regular season is about to kick off. On the first game day, in addition to the defending champion Thunder facing the Rockets, there will also be a focus game between the Lakers and the Warriors at home. According to the current injury reports of the two teams, Lakers star James and Warriors player Moody have been determined to miss the game, while Butler and Kuminga of the Warriors are doubtful, which also makes the game lose some excitement.

The Lakers previously officially announced that James will miss the start of the new season due to right sciatica injury. It is still unknown when he will return. You know, James has never missed the opening game in his previous career. This is his first absence, which is also a bit regretful. At the age of 40, he also faces injuries. Now the Lakers and James are very cautious. After all, the season has just begun and there is no need to take risks and rush back.

Lakers coach Redick also said in the interview: James' comeback timetable has not yet been determined, and he has his own timetable. Famous reporter Shams revealed that James will take time to deal with this injury patiently and may return around mid-November. Due to James' absence, the Lakers also need to make some changes to the lineup at the beginning of the season. At the same time, Doncic and Reeves will bear greater pressure and need to stand up more to help the team.

Let’s look at the Warriors again. Coach Cole revealed in an interview after the training that Moody will miss the opening game due to a calf injury. This situation is also somewhat unexpected. After a period of running-in, Moody has become Cole's starting candidate. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury at the beginning of the season. In addition, Cole also revealed that Podemski will replace Moody's starting position in the opening game, while the new aid Horford has not yet been determined to start the game.

At the same time, Cole also revealed that Kuminga and Butler have participated in the team's confrontation training, but their status for the opening game is doubtful. Both of them have some minor injuries and did not play in the final preseason. Judging from the current situation, there is a chance to play in the preseason. The pressure on the Warriors in the new season is also quite high. It will be Curry's last chance to win the championship. After all, the lineup is no longer young.
