What happened
Walker Kessler still has not made his preseason debut with a left pinky finger injury, though he returned to live drills Sunday and remained uncertain after Tuesday morning shootarounds at T-Mobile Arena.
On the Warriors side, Steve Kerr said Steph Curry will play in the second half Tuesday and is likely to get about 20-22 minutes after earlier preseason limits.
Kessler’s availability would affect the Lakers’ interior defense and pick-and-roll looks. Curry’s longer run could change Golden State’s preseason rotation and workload management with one week left before opening night.
