After a devastating injury to a former Duke basketball standout, the guard looks very healthy.

Arguably the most devastating in sports is a ruptured Achilles tendon but a former Duke basketball standout continues to progress in his return to the court.

Rodney Hood found a home in Portland with the Trail Blazers, he developed into a role on a playoff team which was vital to the team’s success.

Then he went down early last season with an Achilles injury and his future was very much in doubt.
