Christian Wood's errant pass hits fan in head during Rockets-Hornets originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Houston Rockets center Christian Wood committed a viral turnover against the Hornets in Charlotte on Monday night.
In the final 10 seconds of the first half, Wood corralled a defensive rebound and then threw a cross-court pass intended for teammate Josh Christopher.
But Wood's two-handed, overhead pass sailed well over Christopher's head and hit an unsuspecting fan who was walking behind the courtside seats at Spectrum Center.

Thankfully, the fan seemed to be OK after being hit in the head.
"I hope she’s OK," Wood told reporters after the game (h/t Jonathan Feigen). "If she needs tickets to a game, I got her."
Wood also took to Instagram to offer the fan courtside tickets to a Rockets game of her choice.
In addition to that one terrible pass, Wood recorded 16 points and nine rebounds against Charlotte as Houston lost 123-99.
