Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood refused to enter the game in the fourth quarter during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, reports The Athletic.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue attempted to sub Hood in around the 7 minute mark and the Cavaliers leading by 30 points. It would have been Hood's first appearance in the game.
The Cavaliers went on to win 128–93, completing a four-game sweep of the Eastern Conference's top seed.
According to the report, “a number of veterans huddled around him during the timeout and tried talking sense into him” after Hood's refusal to enter the game.
