The exit of former MVP James Harden has made the Houston Rockets a lottery team, with many even calling it a G-league team. Currently the last seed in the western conference, the team had pinned its hopes on the second pick in the draft Jalen Green.
However, the 19-year old has been out for over a month with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the undrafted Christian Wood has been playing some impressive basketball. The Rockets big man is averaging 17.2 PPG, 10.9 RPG, shooting 46.2% from the field.
Wood played a big hand in the Rockets becoming the first team in North American sports history to win six straight after a fifteen-game losing streak.
The Rockets are at the bottom of the western conference and would hopefully have a top pick in the upcoming draft. Wood recently had a slip-up in the game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Rockers big man accidentally threw a ball at a fan in the stands while trying to make a quick play of the possession.
There have been umpteen cases of players running into fans, especially sitting at the sidelines. These kinds of incidents usually take place during a follow-through of a play. However, Wood’s case was different.
NBA Twitter had some interesting responses for Christian Wood’s Shaqtin’ a fool moment.
The play had Wood trying to make a quick half-court pass with seven seconds remaining to end the second quarter. Wood ended up throwing the ball in the stands, hitting a fan in the head.
Fortunately, the fan seemed alright and would receive an ovation from the crowd and Wood, who immediately regretted his shot.
