The Lakers player who will miss the start of the season due to injury

While Los Angeles Lakers are unsure if Jarred Vanderbilt will be able to make it in time for the start of the 2024/25 NBA season due to the foot injury he suffered last February, the LA franchise has confirmed 100% that Christian Wood will be absent for the first games of the Regular Season.

The reason is that Wood has recently undergone surgery on his left knee, as confirmed by the Lakers themselves, and will be out for at least 8 weeks, after which he will be reevaluated to determine his condition.

3 Million to Stay with the Lakers

Christian Wood also missed the last two months of the previous season due to a similar surgery. In order to remain with the Los Angeles franchise for another year, the center exercised his $3 million player option during the 2024 Free Agency.
