Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Christian Wood reportedly thwarted a home invasion attempt at his Sherman Oaks residence on Wednesday afternoon (PH time).
According to the Los Angeles police, three suspects tried to break into the back of Wood’s home around 1 PM. The 29-year-old reportedly fired several shots into the ground, prompting the assailants to flee.
Authorities said the suspects escaped in a gray Jeep Cherokee and remain at large, and no injuries were reported in the incident.
Wood last played for the Lakers during the 2023–24 NBA season before being released in February following a knee injury that sidelined him for the year.
