Jazz's Rodney Hood: Leaves Tuesday's game with sore hamstring

Hood is dealing with a sore right hamstring and won't return to Tuesday's game against the Suns, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hood temporarily went to the locker room during the first half, but was able to return to the game shortly thereafter. However, after coming out of halftime, the Jazz decided to shut him down for the rest of the game, so he'll finish the night with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two assists and a steal over 12 minutes. The injury is considered just a minor ailment, although he'll likely get further tests following the game, which should provide us with more information.
