Toronto Raptors swingman Rodney Hood suffered a left hand fracture Saturday night, likely ending his season.
The team said X-rays showed that Hood fractured the second metacarpal during a 109-99 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
He suffered the injury trying to strip the ball from the Grizzlies’ Jonas Valanciunas in the fourth quarter and didn’t return.

The seven-year vet has averaged 11.3 points over 396 career games with the Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, Trail Blazers and Raptors.
The Raptors (27-41) have just four games left in the regular season.
