Christian Wood, a key player for the Lakers, has been confirmed available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday after a prolonged absence due to knee surgery. Wood, who has not played since February 14, underwent surgery for a left knee injury. Lakers coach Darvin Ham announced his availability, noting that Wood's return could impact the team's rotation, which was shortened in the previous game by excluding Jaxson Hayes. This marks a significant moment as Wood has been sidelined for over two months, and his return is timely for the Lakers' ongoing playoff series.
