Lakers sign Christian Wood in potential title-winning move

Los Angeles Lakers have signed veteran Christian Wood on a 2-year contract after the centre opted to leave Dallas.

The second season of the deal is a player option, potentially allowing Wood to return to the market next summer after he didn’t land a large free agent contract this year.

Wood is coming off a season in which he averaged 16.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in 67 games with the Mavericks. The 6-foot-10 forward/center shot 51.5% from the field last season, 36.7% on 3-pointers.
