Utah's Rodney Hood has no structural damage in knee
Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood's MRI results showed no structural damage and he was diagnosed with a hyperextended knee.
What It Means:
This is obviously better than the alternative, but Hood remains unlikely to play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. He already missed five games this month with a bone bruise to his right knee, so hopefully this won't cost him too much time. Joe Ingles will be the primary beneficiary while Alec Burks and Joe Johnson also see more opportunity.
Hood is averaging 13.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.1 3-pointers in 28.6 minutes per game this season. His -0.6 nERD currently ranks 11th on the Jazz.
