Christian Wood, who plays power forward and center for the Houston Rockets, hit a fan on the head with an errant pass Monday during an NBA game.
He later offered to give her free tickets to any game of her choice.
“I hope she’s OK. If she needs tickets to a game, I got her,” Wood told reporter Jonathan Feigen, beat writer for the Houston Chronicle. (RELATED: Fans Get Into An Absurd Brawl During The Rockets/Spurs Game)
