The Houston Rockets didn’t have the season they envisioned having this year, recording the NBA’s worst record at 17-55. After acquiring John Wall in a swap for Russell Westbrook, the Rockets believed they had a team that was good enough to vie for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Despite the abysmal showing from the team during regular season, Christian Wood was one of the few bright spots on the roster.
Wood inked a three-year, $41 million deal with the Rockets before being involved in a sign-and-trade that sent him from the Detroit Pistons to Houston before the 2020-21 campaign.
Prior to joining the Rockets, Wood had just completed a career year with the Pistons where he recorded 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while making 56.7 percent of his shots from the floor.
