One of the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ newest players, Rodney Hood, came out of Friday night’s road clash against the Los Angeles Clippers due to an apparent back injury.

Hood played six minutes in the contest before leaving, missing all three of his shots from the field. Since the Cavaliers will be staying in Los Angeles to face the Lakers on Sunday night, Hood won’t need to travel and will receive treatment over the next few days. His status for that Lakers game is currently undetermined.
