Former Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood has announced his retirement, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin:
Rodney Hood told ESPN he is retiring after 8 seasons in the NBA with UTA, CLE, POR, MIL and LAC. The 6-8 guard/forward made a comeback attempt with the Memphis Hustle in the G League last season before another injury told him it was time.
Hood came to the Blazers in a 2019 trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here’s a portion of what our own Dave Deckard had to say about the trade at the time:
Hood may turn out to be a rental, but even so, this move was justifiable.
