Heading into the 2019-2020 NBA season, it wasn’t expected that by the end of the year Christian Wood would be making headlines for the Detroit Pistons.
It ended up being rather bittersweet, as he wound up making more headlines for testing positive for COVID-19. Basketball fans around the world were getting their first introduction to him for the wrong reasons.
Luckily Wood has since recovered from the virus and is in good health.
His performances near the end of the season for Detroit began to slowly put him on the map. After posting new career highs in points in three of his final four games, his scoring talent became undeniable.
