Portland Trail Blazers wing Rodney Hood is in the process of rehabbing from the torn Achilles that he suffered in December 2019. Hood was unable to join Portland when play resumed at Disney World, but he has been seen getting reps in at the practice facility. On a visit back to his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi, Hood discussed his injury rehab with Drew Kerekes of the Meridian Star:
“I feel good,” Hood said. “I’m almost nine months in, and I’ll be ready to go for next season. I feel good about my progress so far.
