Trail Blazers re-sign Rodney Hood to two-year, $21M deal

The Blazers have agreed to a two-year, $21M deal with free agent Rodney Hood, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Hood will return to Portland for a third straight season.

For Hood, the second season of his deal is nonguaranteed, Wojnarowski adds. He declined a $6M player option to become a free agent earlier this week.

Hood, 28, missed much of last season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in December. In the 21 games he did play, he averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds and 29.5 minutes per game, proving his worth as a scorer alongside Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.

The Blazers also traded for Robert Covington and Enes Kanter over the past week, setting their sights on contending next season.
