Rodney Hood Questionable vs. Lakers

After going through shootaround on Thursday morning, Jazz guard Rodney Hood is listed as questionable to play against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hood has been out of commission for Utah’s last five games. He suffered a hyperextended knee and bone contusion late in the Jazz win over the Orlando Magic on January 14.

“Getting back into the swing of things, ” Hood said when asked about his status during his media availability. “Feeling better every single day. So, I’ll just see how I feel later and see if I can go tonight.”
