Duke's Rodney Hood suffers injury to Achilles tendon

Posted Jun 27, 2013
Duke's Rodney Hood injured the Achilles tendon in his right leg during Wednesday night's practice with USA Basketball in Colorado Springs, Colo. The extent of the injury remains undetermined. But a source told CBSSports.com on Thursday that early indications have left those close to Hood optimistic. In other words, when Lakers star Kobe Bryant injured his Achilles tendon everybody immediately knew it was bad. That's simply not the case here. (CBS Sports)
