New Raptors shooting guard Rodney Hood is hoping to revive his career with Toronto, as Steven Loung of Sportsnet details. Hood has struggled to find his consistency since returning from a torn left Achilles tendon in December.
“Yeah, it’s been tough this year just trying to work my way back and get healthier,” Hood said. “Obviously this is another stepping stone to get traded but I feel myself getting healthier, I feel like towards the end of the season I’ll be a little more back to myself but I’ve got to take time and that’s been the frustrating part about it, but I’m excited about where I’m headed.”
The Raptors have a $10.8 million team option on Hood, and whether or not they exercise it may hinge on his performance in Tampa down the home stretch of the season.
