Hood Rehab Continues On Schedule Despite Coronavirus

While much of the discussion in NBA circles since the suspension of the 2019-20 season due to the coronavirus pandemic has revolved around when basketball might resume, Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood hasn't had cause to spend much time pondering that specific question. After all, Hood's season ended when he suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon back in early December, so whether the 2019-20 season continues on in some fashion or not, it doesn't change much for the 6-8 swingman, other than that it deprives him, like so many others, of the joys of watching NBA basketball.

"For me, with the season being shut down, it doesn't really change too much for me," said Hood during a call with reporters Tuesday afternoon.
