When Rodney Hood collapsed with a torn Achilles early last December, he lost his opportunity to show the Portland Trail Blazers what he could do in a complete 82 game season.
By the time he is healthy and the league is able to return to play, he will likely be in the midst of his second and final season of a two-year, $12 million dollar contract, after signing with Portland last June.
At the time, Hood’s return to the franchise offered nothing but excitement and potential. The small forward had seemingly revitalised his career since arriving in Rip City and appeared to be the perfect offensive accent to the Damian Lillard/CJ McCollum tandem.
