Hood landed awkwardly on the knee while driving to the basket late in a 114-107 win, and the team said after the game that it was hyperextended pending a Sunday MRI.
Day-to-day on what was a scary-looking injury is good news for a Jazz team that is 26-16 and in fifth place in the Western Conference. Hood, a third-year pro, is a key reason Utah is on track to make the playoffs for the first time since 2012. He’s the team’s third-leading scorer at 14 points per game and has started all 37 games he’s played in.
