About this episode

The Lakers announced that Christian Wood will be out for at least a couple months after having another surgery on his knee. Pete and Darius discuss what it means to lose Wood, how his absence combines with Jarred Vanderbilt's injury uncertainty to leave the Lakers shallow heading into the season, and what impact that can have on a team that will want to get out to a fast start under new coach JJ Redick.
