Christian Wood's reaction to Darvin's starting lineup vs. Atlanta shocks

The Lakers' best center after Anthony Davis has been Christian Wood but Ham did him dirty tonight vs. the Atlanta Hawks

The Los Angeles Lakers are facing the Atlanta Hawks and are looking to get back on track after falling the day before to the Rockets with a blowout loss, but tonight the team won't have their best player Anthony Davis as he has been playing through an injury but now needs some rest.

Instead of having Christian Wood as the starting center tonight, the most reliable big man Ham has been using after Anthony Davis, the Lakers head coach went with Jaxson Hayes, who hasn't been getting too many playing minutes for the last ten games.

This ridiculous decision not only caught the eye of the NBA media and the fans but even got a reaction from Christian Wood who posted on his X account: "lol" as a clear sign of how ridiculous this move was and how the coach did dirty on him.

Wood revealed that Ham promised him to be front and center with the team, and that was one of the reasons the big man signed with LA in the offseason, but Darvin hasn't delivered what was promised and now this has been the latest move that will probably continue to distance the locker room with him.

After the rumors emerged of a disconnect between the locker room and Darvin Ham, Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal spoke on how superstars like Anthony Davis and LeBron James can't respect a first-timer with no experience head coach, and that it was a mistake from the organization's.
