Former Blue Devil Rodney Hood is facing the greatest crisis of his NBA career: he blew out his left Achilles tendon in early December.
As you probably know, that’s a very serious injury for anyone and particularly an athlete, not least of all someone who participates in a physical, run/jump sport like basketball. DeMarcus Cousins injured his a while back and was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers in February and has yet to find a new team.
The injuries aren’t the same of course and never are between two people (or even two Achilles on the same person).
