Joining Lakers
The specifics of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but Koloko is expected to be given the opportunity to compete for a role in Los Angeles' frontcourt. However, he is still waiting to receive clearance from the NBA's fitness panel as he has been dealing with blood clots. In 2022-23, Koloko averaged 3.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 13.8 minutes across 58 regular-season appearances for the Raptors.

Undergoes knee procedure
The forward will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, meaning he will miss the start of the 2024-25 season. This is a tough blow for Wood, as it will set him back with his offseason training. Wood exercised his $3.04 million player option in May and was already facing an uphill battle for playing time in the Lakers' crowded frontcourt, and this certainly won't help.

Signs with Lakers
It's unclear if Fudge signed a two-way deal with the Lakers, though that could very well be the case as he spent the 2023-24 campaign on such a deal, appearing in six NBA contests for the Lakers and Mavericks while averaging 2.5 points in 6.7 minutes per game. Even though Fudge will look to battle for a roster spot in training camp, he's likely to spend most of the upcoming campaign in the G League.
