The Los Angeles Lakers have to go against the tide against the Denver Nuggets; The quintet remains 0-2 in the Series after the results 114-103 and 101-99 in their visit to the Ball Arena. Now at home in the Crypto.com Arena for this Thursday in Game 3 (10:00 pm ET / 7:00 pm PT), they will have to do it without the reinforcement they had for Game 3: Christian Wood.
The 28-year-old player from Long Beach has not appeared in any of the games of this playoff series, and fans are questioning his return, since the player has good effectiveness from three-point range.
What injury does Christian Wood have? When will he return?
When the Lakers’ injury report was sent to the NBA before the game, Wood was listed as “out” with a sore left knee; due to the surgery he underwent. It’s a big loss for the Lakers, who could certainly use some more offensive firepower after posting low recent averages in terms of scoring.
Wood last played on Feb. 14 after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee. The player could return for Game 4 on Saturday, providing that much-needed boost to the reserves.
Will LeBron James play against the Nuggets in Game 3?

Of course, it goes without saying that LeBron’s inclusion in the team, even in a supporting role, would not only be an immeasurable boost to the team’s morale, but also to their confidence. The game between the Nuggets and the Lakers will be played on Thursday, April 25 with kickoff scheduled for 10:00 pm ET / 7:00 pm PT.
