Russell Westbrook is listed as doubtful for the Los Angeles Lakers' road game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday because of left hamstring soreness, the team announced.
Westbrook was limited to five minutes in the Lakers' preseason finale because of the hamstring and later said that coach Darvin Ham's decision to bring him off the bench in that game could have contributed to the injury.
Ham was asked if he planned to keep the same starting lineup against the Nuggets, before the Lakers disclosed Westbrook's status, and gave an ambiguous answer.
