Lakers' Christian Wood Undergoes Second Knee Surgery, Out for Eight Weeks

Wood, who missed the final two months of last season, faces another recovery period as the new NBA season approaches.

Christian Wood of the Los Angeles Lakers underwent another arthroscopic procedure on his left knee and will be re-evaluated in about eight weeks.
Wood missed the last two months of the previous season due to a similar knee procedure and had hoped to return in peak shape.
He picked up his $3 million player option to stay with the Lakers for the upcoming season, which starts on October 22.
Wood, who has played for eight NBA teams since 2015, averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 50 games last season.
Durability has been a recurring issue in Wood's career, limiting his ability to secure a more significant role on the team.
