DENVER (AP) — Portland guard/forward Rodney Hood hyperextended his left knee on a screen during the third quarter of Game 7 against Denver.
His return Sunday is questionable.
While guarding Nuggets’ Jamal Murray, Hood collided with Torrey Craig. He remained on the floor, clutching his left knee while trainers tended to him. Eventually, Hood was assisted into the locker room. He had scored six points in 20 minutes.
Hood scored 25 points in a Game 6 victory at Portland. Michael Malone, the Nuggets coach, hailed him as the “MVP of the series.”
