Christian Wood Steps Out With Amber Rose
The unsigned free agent was photographed on a dinner date with the 43-year-old media personality in Beverly Hills.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Basketball
Christian Wood went on a dinner date with Amber Rose at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, according to photos of the pair. Wood remains an unsigned free agent and has not played in the NBA since the 2023-24 season.
Why it matters
The appearance draws attention to Wood's current status, as the 31-year-old has been without a team since the Lakers waived him in February 2025. The public nature of the outing places a personal matter in the spotlight for a player whose NBA future remains uncertain.
Wood averaged 6.9 points in 17.4 minutes per game across 50 appearances with the Lakers in 2023-24, his last NBA season. The extraction does not indicate whether he has received any offers since his release in February 2025.

Season Trajectory
Wood's departure from the Lakers in February 2025 left him without a team for the 2025-26 season, and his absence from NBA rosters continues to shape his market value. The dinner outing does not alter his standing, but it arrives while he remains outside the league's active player pool.
Wood's availability is the practical question for fantasy and roster observers, as he has no team and no announced contract. Any signing would affect rotation and minutes for whichever club adds him.
The takeaway
A player's public personal life and professional standing are separate matters, and the verifiable facts here are his free agency and the Lakers' February 2025 waiver.
