The year 2020 hasn't been a promising one to anyone, but former Duke star Rodney Hood is using the devastating year as a chance to grow and develop personally.
Fresh off an appearance in the Western Conference Finals which saw Hood emerge as a third threat with the Portland Trail Blazers behind Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, but ruptured his achilles on December 6 against the Los Angles Lakers.
Hood had to undergo surgery and was forced to miss the remainder of the season, although that was suspended in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
