Los Angeles Lakers forwards LeBron James, left, and Anthony Davis, right, sit on the bench before an NBA basketball game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Los Angeles, Sunday, March 10, 2024. EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Lakers big man Christian Wood had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday in the latest injury setback for Los Angeles’ depth players.
The Lakers are also playing without veterans Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish, eroding the depth of what once looked like a solid supporting cast around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Reddish has been out since March 8 with an ankle injury, but the Lakers expect the defense-minded wingman to return soon.
