According to reports, the Lakers officially announced that Dennis Schroder will undergo surgery on his right thumb and miss 3-4 weeks.

Schroder suffered a finger injury against the Timberwolves in a preseason game on Oct. 13. Before that, he underwent an MRI.

Due to his outstanding performance in the European Cup this summer, Schroder signed a one-year minimum salary contract with the Lakers. While Schroder is out, the Lakers have several guards available, including Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley, and Austin Reeves.

Lakers coach Darwin Hamm revealed in an interview today that Westbrook's current situation is a daily observation. "He had a light workout today," Hamm said.

Westbrook suffered a left hamstring strain in the final preseason game, but there was no structural damage. Westbrook has a chance to play in Wednesday's opener against the Warriors, according to Hamm.

Thomas Bryant, on the other hand, is currently on the daily watch list due to a thumb injury, according to Hamm.

The Lakers' first two regular-season games will be against the Warriors and the Clippers, according to the schedule. In this regard, Anthony Davis said: "Our first two games were against two teams that had the ability to compete for the championship. It would be great to spoil the Warriors' ring night, our mentality is improving, to start the season with a few wins. "
