 Mr. Wood had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in March, followed by a second procedure in September and has since faced setbacks in his recovery.

In March, Kristofer Jones, MD, performed the procedure at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, which put Mr. Wood out for the remainder of the 2023 to 2024 NBA season. 

Mr. Wood will  be reevaluated in four weeks.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
