Prayers for Gordon Hayward

[IllegalContact]

In less than 6 min

Leg snapped like a twig

 

[Joey007]

That looked gruesome... Never want to see that happen, especially to a guy like Hayward.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

A freak play, after an alley-oop attempt...reminiscent of Pats' Game One in 2008, not a good memory for all of us.

Hoping for some good, encouraging news in the next 48 hours...we're a long, long way ahead of where we were medically fifty years ago

Well, this seasons shot for the Celtics. Wish heyward the best.

How bad was it?

 

[They_Hate_We]

Horrific. Tough to watch.

Get well GH

 

[IcyPatriot]

How bad was it?

Real bad - foot twisted 90 degrees just below the ankle. bone.
Replays on You tube but I'd rather not post a link.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Complete loss for words.

 

[They_Hate_We]

How bad was it?

They only showed the break briefly. Looked to be a complete break about 6 to 8 inches above the ankle

 

[mgcolby]

That was awful. Seen that exact same injury ( at least in appearance ) on an 8th grader that is surgery and 6 months of recovery.

Thought it was above, but I only saw it for a second

 

[The_Riddler]

Huge Celts fan and to see this was horrifying, Praying for Gordon...

It looks like his ankle is shattered which would be much worse than him simply breaking his leg.

 

[deroc5050]

Just saw it... thats one of the worst things I have seen in live sports. Right up there with another Basketball injury from some European guy.. I think from the Kings. I don't think the guy ever made it back to an NBA court.

Man I am so disappointed.. a trip to the finals is pretty much over now. A rare injury. Good luck Gordon

Yes , I was thinking that hoping no, no no ... just broken but the ankle area was huge.

 

[bruinator]

Is his foot broken at the ankle will still in his shoe?

 

[JMC00]

Dislocation, will be back by January.

(Hopes)

Dislocation, will be back by January.

I don't think we're necessarily toast yet.

Would really love to see him back out on the court on opening night, a year from now.

Encouraging news will be if this guy plays again. That contact just became one of the worst in the nba
