On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers had their season come to an end when they lost to the Devner Nuggets by a score of 108-106 in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

The Lakers now head into a significant offseason, while the Nuggets will advance to the second round and face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On Friday, the former UNLV star sent out a post on X that had over 2,000 likes in less than two hours.

Wood wrote: "Loved my first year playing for my Hometown team, I Wish I wasn’t hurt majority of the season, But all in all it was a dream come True for me.. I will be better and 100% healthy next season ."

Wood finished the regular season with averages of 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 46.6% from the field and 30.7% from the three-point range in 50 games.

He will now have a player option to decide on this summer.

The Lakers were the seventh seed in the Western Conference and had a 47-35 record.
