Another absence coming Wood (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Wood has yet to suit up for the Lakers this season, but even when he does, he's not going to be much more than a depth option in the frontcourt. His next chance to feature will come in the rematch against the Spurs on Monday.

Remains on the shelf Wood (knee) won't play in Thursday's game against the Hornets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Wood is still in recovery mode following offseason surgery on his left knee, and it remains unclear how far along he is in his rehab at this point. The veteran big man can be tentatively deemed doubtful for game action until the Lakers provide another update on Wood's health, so he would appear unlikely to return for Saturday's tilt with the Spurs. Jaxson Hayes remains Los Angeles' top backup at center behind Anthony Davis going forward.

Still not ready to play Wood (knee) remains out for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Wood is still not ready to make his regular-season debut following offseason knee surgery. The veteran big man is inching closer to returning, but he can be labeled doubtful for game action, including Thursday's game against the Hornets, until Los Angeles provides another update on Wood's status.

Ruled out Friday Wood (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Wood's season debut with the Lakers won't happen on Friday against the visiting Hawks. The veteran big man continues to work his way back from knee surgery, and in the meantime, the Lakers will continue to lean on Cam Reddish, Dorian Finney-Smith and Rui Hachimura behind LeBron James in the frontcourt.

Won't make season debut Thursday Wood is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wood is working his way back from arthroscopic left knee surgery that he underwent in early September, but he's still not ramped up enough to return to game action. Until the Lakers provide another update on his status, the veteran big man should be viewed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Hawks without a clear timetable for his return.

Resuming on-court workouts Lakers head coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Wood (knee) has been cleared to resume on-court workouts, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After getting re-evaluated at some point last week, Wood received the green light to start ramping back up again, but his season debut doesn't look to be imminent just yet. Wood will spend the next few days working out with staff members in Los Angeles while the Lakers play in Sacramento on Thursday and Saturday, and he could then become integrated in practices once the team returns home. The journeyman center is working his way back from arthroscopic left knee surgery, which he underwent in early September.
