Wood exercised his $3 million player option for the 2024-25 season Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Wood was a sporadic part of the rotation in Los Angeles this season, appearing in 50 games with averages of 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. There could potentially be a lot of changes for the Lakers this offseason depending on whether or not LeBron James picks up his player option, so it's difficult to project Wood's role for next season at the moment.

Christian Wood Latest News
Exercises player option
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood exercised his $3 million player option for the 2024-25 season Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Wood was a sporadic part of the rotation in Los Angeles this season, appearing in 50 games with averages of 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. There could potentially be a lot of changes for the Lakers this offseason depending on whether or not LeBron James picks up his player option, so it's difficult to project Wood's role for next season at the moment.
Will play Saturday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday.
Upgraded to questionable
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Wood has been sidelined since Feb. 14, but he's been trending towards a return for a while. It sounds like if he makes it through the shootaround without any setbacks, he could get the green light to return with Los Angeles' season on the line.
Ruled out for Game 3
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Wood has been ramping up his workload and was hopeful that he would be able to get back to the court for Game 3, but the medical staff will hold him out for at least one more game. His next chance to play will come Saturday.
Eyeing Game 3 return
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Sunday that Wood (knee) plans to be available for Game 3 of the opening-round series versus the Nuggets on Thursday. Wood hasn't played since mid-March while rehabbing from an arthroscopic knee procedure, so even when he's available, the talented big man may be limited to a minor reserve role. Across 50 regular-season appearances (one start), Wood averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game.
Sidelined for Game 1
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) won't play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Wood has yet to take the court since his arthroscopic knee procedure, so his absence shouldn't impact LA's rotation much. It remains unclear if he'll get the green light to return at some point during the postseason.
Ruled out for Tuesday's game
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Wood has been sidelined since undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in March, and he'll remain sidelined as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. It's unclear if he'll be available at any point if the team advances in the postseason.
Won't play Sunday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Wood underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in March, and he's not ready to return yet. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for the Play-In Tournament or the playoffs, in case the Lakers go that far.
Undergoes successful surgery
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/los-angeles-lakers-logo.png?w=150)
Wood (knee) underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee Tuesday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Wood hasn't played since Feb. 14 due to a left knee injury and has now undergone surgery to address the issue. While Wood hasn't been ruled out for the postseason, a regular-season return seems unlikely.
