Jalen Hood-Schifino, a rookie guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, had a successful lumbar microdiscectomy on Thursday, the team reported.

After the treatment, Hood-Schifino will miss the rest of the season and will likely need two to three months to recover. His status for summer league is in doubt as the team anticipates he will fully recuperate in the offseason.

The 20-year-old failed to crack the rotation for the Lakers, with several veteran players ahead of him on the depth chart. However, the team has been encouraged by his development and was impressed with him from the start of training camp.
The Lakers selected Hood-Schifino with the 17th pick last year out of Indiana. He was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year after averaging 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32 games.
