Christian Wood is recovering from left knee surgery and will not take the court for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has confirmed that Wood will be unavailable for their upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets on January 17, 2025. This marks a continued absence for Wood, who has yet to play this season.
What It Means
Christian Wood’s absence continues to impact the Lakers’ lineup as they prepare for their matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite not having played any games this season due to his injury, Wood was expected to contribute significantly as a power forward. The Lakers have managed without him so far, including a recent win over the Miami Heat where they scored 117 points. With Anthony Davis leading in performance with 22 points and 11 rebounds in that game, the Lakers are adapting well in Wood’s absence.
