Lakers sign free-agent center Alex Len to bolster frontcourt depth after failed trade
The Los Angeles Lakers have signed veteran free-agent center Alex Len to bolster their frontcourt depth after their failed attempt to acquire Charlotte center Mark WilliamsFEBRUARY 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Let go by LAL The Lakers waived Wood (knee) on Tuesday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Impact The big man was waived in order to make room for veteran center Alex Len, who signed with the club on Tuesday. Wood didn't appear in a single game for the Lakers during the 2024-25 campaign while recovering from a left knee surgery that he underwent in September. The 29-year-old could latch on with a club looking for depth in the frontcourt, though his health is a glaring issue that could seemingly hold him back.

Remains out Thursday Wood (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Wood has yet to play this season while recovering from the left knee surgery he underwent in September. On Wednesday, head coach JJ Redick told Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com that he had no formal update on the status of Wood, who appears safe to rule out through the All-Star break. With the Lakers adding Mark Williams at the trade deadline to supplement a frontcourt mix that already includes Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaxson Hayes and Dorian Finney-Smith, Wood will likely find himself out of the rotation once he returns to full health.

Return not imminent Lakers head coach JJ Redick said Monday that he had no update on the status of Wood, who has been sidelined all season while recovering from the left knee surgery he underwent in S...
Impact Back on Dec. 30, Redick told Starkand that Wood was able to take part in some individual work following the Lakers' practice session, but the lack of a concrete update on the big man's status in the two weeks since then suggest that Wood has either plateaued in his recovery or suffered a setback. Whatever the case, Wood seems further from a return than fellow big man Jarred Vanderbilt (foot), whom Redick said Monday is "close" to playing, but won't be an option for any of the team's games this week, per Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet. Assuming Vanderbilt ends up beating him back to the court for his season debut, Wood may not be a serious candidate to enter the rotation even once he's made a full recovery from knee surgery.
