Rodney Hood will be out at least after All-Star Break

Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood was examined by the Utah Jazz medical staff and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing this morning.

The MRI results showed a recurrence of inflammation in Hood’s left foot.  As a result, Hood’s left foot will be placed in a boot for approximately one week during which time he will continue to receive treatment.

Following the removal of the boot, Hood will begin conditioning, restricted weight training and light court work. Hood will remain out through the NBA All-Star Break, at which point his status will be reevaluated.
