“Girl sit down, the laughing emojis weren’t for you”: Robert Covington backs Christian Wood amidst the row regarding a spectator suffering a concussion off Wood’s errant pass

Christian Wood was recently in the news after one of his errant passes hit a spectator in the head, causing her a concussion. Robert Covington made his own observation after this woman demanded an unconditional apology from Wood.

It comes as no surprise that Christian Wood has been balling this year. The stretch big has been one of the league’s most consistent big man shooters in the recent past.

Wood has been lighting it up ever since a successful tenure with the Detroit Pistons in 2019-20. He signed a 3-year contract worth $40 million and change with the Rockets in the offseason that followed.

While Wood expected to play with Harden and co on a championship contender, he’s still been a great piece for the rebuilding Houston Rockets, providing much-needed spacing for their young guards.
