The Golden State Warriors are about to host the Los Angeles Lakers on the first night of the 2022-23 NBA season, and we now know that the Lakers will have all their stars. Shortly before the game, the Lakers confirmed that point guard Russell Westbrook, who had been listed as probable, will play in the game.
Westbrook was a pretty big question mark after injuring his hamstring during the Lakers final preseason game of the year. But the injury was apparently quite minor, and he’s good to go. Fellow future Hall of Famers LeBron James and Anthony Davis were also listed as probable on the injury report, but no one thought there was any chance that they’d actually miss the game.
