Rodney Hood went down two games ago against the Toronto Raptors, only playing eighteen minutes due to what was later revealed to be left Achilles soreness. Hood posted just six points, two assists, and a steal on two-of-four shooting. The injury hurt the Cleveland Cavaliers in that contest, for sure. But the bigger picture is what’s concerning for the team and coaching staff.
That bigger picture would be the confusing state of the guard situation. Who’s going to take Hood’s minutes and, more importantly, add anything close to the production he was giving Cleveland?
