The Los Angeles Lakers, lead by LeBron James, are gearing up for the upcoming NBA season hoping to improve on their disappointing early playoff exit last year against the Denver Nuggets. However, just before the start of training camp, it was revealed that one player will miss the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

Christian Wood, who missed part of last season and the playoffs due to a knee injury, has undergone another procedure. Despite initially recovering, Wood had to undergo an arthroscopy on the affected area. The Lakers confirmed he will be reevaluated in eight weeks, ruling him out for the start of the regular season.
In an official statement, the Lakers announced: “Lakers forward/center Christian Wood underwent a successful arthroscopic surgical procedure on his left knee today. The procedure was performed by Dr. Kristofer J. Jones at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Wood will be reevaluated by team doctors in approximately eight weeks.”
Following the team’s announcement, Wood took to social media to share his thoughts. “Damn… I was just feeling like my old self again and was in peak shape,” Wood posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Minor setback for a major comeback. To my fans, don’t stop believing in me.”
