The Cleveland Cavaliers are not expected to fine or suspend Rodney Hood for refusing to enter Game 4 against the Toronto Raptors, a source told The Associated Press' Tom Withers.
Hood was not part of the Cavaliers' rotation in Game 4 but was given the opportunity to replace LeBron James at the 7:38 mark of the fourth quarter with Cleveland up by 30. However, he reportedly dismissed both the coach and his teammates.
He regrets his decision to not play and become a distraction, Withers' source says.
Hood totaled just two points in 39 minutes of playing time over the first three games of the series.
