Will this do anything to help Los Angeles stave off obsolesence?
Down 0-3 in their first round Western Conference playoff series matchup against the No. 2-seeded Denver Nuggets, the No. 7-seeded Los Angeles Lakers are getting one reinforcement ahead of a pivotal Game 4 matchup tonight at Crypto.com Arena., Los Angeles head coach Darvin Ham has confirmed that reserve power forward/center Christian Wood is set to play his first game since undergoing a knee surgery in March.
Whether he'll crack Darvin Ham's rotation is another matter. Though Ham had started out the series going nine deep, he has since culled the group to eight, having eliminated backup big Jaxson Hayes from his lineups after he proved wholly ineffective. Essentially, Ham has been employing starting forwards LeBron James and Rui Hachimura to spell starting center Anthony Davis at the five spot.
The contest, which could be the last of the Lakers' season, is slated to tip off at 5:40 p.m. PT tonight.LeBron James Had Epic Gift for Duquesne Basketball Team Ahead of NCAA Tournament
