Christian Wood

Out at least four more weeks

Coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Wood (knee) has experienced soreness in his surgically repaired knee and will miss at least four more weeks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis

Wood was nearing his re-evaluation date following an arthroscopic procedure in early September, but the big man isn't close to returning to game action. Even when healthy, Wood will have an uphill battle for playing time in the Lakers' crowded frontcourt, but he brings a unique skill set to the table.
