Kelly (hamstring) was not able to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Kings as he continues to deal with his injury.

Analysis:

Kelly is still sidelined with a sore right hamstring, although the Lakers want to give him as much rest as possible before the regular season starts, so his injury isn't likely serious. The 23-year-old will be a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's regular season opener against the Rockets and will provide relief off the bench if he ultimately is able to play.
