A Lakers basketball player will miss several weeks due to surgery

Los Angeles Lakers' basketball player Christian Wood will miss several weeks due to knee surgery, as reported by ESPN.

It was revealed that the Lakers center will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, causing him to be sidelined for several weeks. Recall that the 28-year-old Wood has not been on the court for over a month. During the All-Star break, he experienced swelling in his knee.

During the offseason, Wood signed a one-year minimum contract with the Lakers. This season, he has been averaging 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists.

It's worth noting that initially, Wood was projected to be selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft, but later analysts placed him in the second round. Ultimately, Wood was not drafted at all and joined the Houston Rockets to participate in the Summer League. On October 28, 2015, he made his NBA debut, playing 5 minutes in a loss against the Boston Celtics.

By the way, in the NBA game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 128:121. The last two minutes of game time lasted for more than 20 minutes due to clock issues and video replays.
