Walker Kessler Sidelined Day-to-Day With Jammed Finger

Los Angeles Lakers center Walker Kessler missed Monday's preseason opener against Sacramento after jamming his left pinky finger on the backboard in practice. Kessler wore a splint on his finger, but head coach JJ Redick confirmed the injury is not serious and listed him as day-to-day, leaving the door open for a return Tuesday against Golden State. The marquee free-agent addition is aiming for a quick return to build frontcourt chemistry.
