End of career for Rodney Hoodwho has just confirmed it at ESPN. At only 32 years old, he has not played in the NBA since April 2022 and he will have played eight seasons in the league, successively playing for the Jazz, the Cavaliers, the Blazers, the Bucks then the Clippers (for an average of 10.4 points) .
Coming out of Duke in 2014, then drafted in 23rd position by Utah immediately, the left-hander notably participated in the 2018 Finals with LeBron James' Cleveland, then in the Portland epic until the Western Conference final in 2019. Unfortunately , his Achilles tendon injury in 2019/20 will cut him down in the prime of his life (27 years old) and he will no longer be the same afterwards.
His last appearance on the floor dates back to last season, not in the NBA then, but in the G-League, with the Memphis Hustle. Here again, Rodney Hood will be affected by an injury and it is precisely this injury which made him understand that it was time to put his playing career behind him.
Now, the guard is working toward a degree at Duke and he plans to pursue coaching. Why not alongside Tyronn Lue, with whom he has remained close since their shared adventure with the Cavs?
