It was the last step before his return to the courts. After missing the entire last campaign following a blood clot problem which required an operation, Christian Koloko got the final green light of the group of three doctors appointed to check if his state of health allows him to play in the NBA again.

At 24 years old, the Cameroonian (2m16), chosen in 33rd position in the 2022 Draft by the Raptors, can now try to resume the course of his career in the Great League, even though he was signed as a “two-way player”. contract” by the Lakers, and that he can therefore commute to the G-League.
But while Christian Wood is currently on the sidelines, he is a reinforcement behind Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes in the Californian racket, and therefore one more option for JJ Redick.
