Lakers’ Wood has another procedure on left knee

Los Angeles Lakers big man Christian Wood underwent an arthroscopic surgical procedure on his left knee Monday and will be reevaluated by team doctors in approximately eight weeks, the team announced.

Wood missed the last two months of last season with a left knee injury and had an initial arthroscopic procedure on the knee in March. He averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 50 games in his first season with the Lakers but last played on Feb. 14.

In a social media post Monday, Wood said he was “just feeling like my old self again and was in peak shape.”

Wood picked up his $3 million player option to remain with the Lakers this offseason.

L.A. opens its regular season vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 22, which is six weeks from Tuesday.
