SALT LAKE CITY — Rodney Hood, who left Friday's loss in Minnesota with a calf injury, did not play Saturday night when the Utah Jazz hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder in their Northwest Division showdown.

But the Jazz revealed some relatively good news regarding Hood's injury situation.

MRI test results showed that Hood has a mild left lower leg strain, the team announced Saturday afternoon. Hood's test was taken at the University of Utah Health Care's Orthopaedic Center.

Some feared the worst for Hood on Friday night after he stepped on Karl-Anthony Towns' foot.
