Wood (knee) is hopeful to be cleared to play for the Lakers' Game 3 matchup with the Nuggets on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Wood hasn't played since Feb. 14 while rehabbing from an arthroscopic knee procedure, so even if he's available for Game 3, the reserve big man may be limited to a minor role or kept out of the rotation entirely. Across 50 regular-season appearances (one start), Wood averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game.
