The Los Angeles Lakers cruised to a big win over the Atlanta Hawks on March 18.
Their good fortunes largely stopped there, though, as they also suffered a potentially key loss in the frontcourt.
“ESPN Sources with [Dave McMenamin]: Los Angeles Lakers F Christian Wood will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported in a post on X on March 18. “The Lakers final regular season game is April 14.”Wood has been out more than a month already after experiencing swelling in the knee during the All-Star break,” McMenamin wrote in his subsequent report.
Wood, 28, is averaging 6.9 points on 56.8% true shooting with 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists this season. Despite his modest individual stats, Wood has had a tangible impact on the Lakers when he’s on the floor.
