Houston Rockets center Christian Wood wants to make it up to the fan he nailed with an errant pass.

During the second quarter of Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Wood corralled a rebound and attempted to throw an outlet pass up the court.

Instead, the ball sailed into the stands, where it nailed a woman walking through seats in the head.

She appeared to be okay, but Wood is listed at 6-foot-9, 214 lb, so chances are this outlet pass had some heat on it.

After the game, Wood told reporters he hoped the woman was alright and offered to buy her tickets.

He also took to Instagram to share the same message, saying he'd end up on Shaquille O'Neal's blooper real "Shaqtin a Fool."

It's unclear if the woman has seen Wood's offer or plans to take him on it.

We've seen athletes offer to buy fans drinks after spilling them – now tickets seem to be next.
