The Lakers have made the decision to move on from Wood after signing Alex Len to a contract on Tuesday. The big man hasn't taken the court all season so far due to a knee injury, so it remains uncertain whether or not he will land with another team for the remainder of the season.

Lakers coach JJ Reddick said Christian Wood is progressing closer to his return.
