Jaron Blossomgame to start for injured Rodney Hood Sunday night vs. Bulls

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers swingman Jaron Blossomgame will make his second career NBA start on Sunday night against the Chicago Bulls, head coach Larry Drew announced ahead of the 6 p.m. tipoff.

Blossomgame will take the place of Rodney Hood, who complained of Achilles soreness during the second half of Cleveland's loss against Toronto Friday.

Hood originally suffered the injury in the road trip opener against the Pacers on Tuesday night and the pain got worse while he tried to play through it.

Blossomgame has played in 10 games with the Cavs since signing a Two-Way contract.
