The Los Angeles Lakers have been operating with Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes as their only true centers on the roster, exacerbating the need for Christian Wood to return from injury.
Wood underwent knee surgery before the beginning of training camp and initially was given an eight-week timeline for re-evaluation. Wood revealed that his knee had been feeling fine but woke up one day after rehab and experienced swellingm which prompted an MRI and eventually surgery.
It’s been a tough return to play process for Wood, who could really help the Lakers roster right now with his size and outside shooting, But unfortunately, he experienced another setback as he experienced soreness during his ramp-up period and is set to miss more time.
