Jazz's Rodney Hood: Will start Friday

Hood will start at shooting guard in his return to action Friday against the Bucks.

Hood missed the final seven games before the All Star break with a bone contusion and LCL sprain in his right knee, but is ready to return to action Friday. The team has not mentioned any minute restriction for Hood, but they figure to be cautious should he show any signs of a setback. Joe Ingles will return to the bench as a result of Hood's return.
