Prayers for Gordon Hayward

[Jackson 2]

Any known players that have come back from that injury?

A fractured ankle isn't career-ending.

 

[Mack Herron]

Good news considering what I saw

I work with a lot of sports injuries and that looked like a dislocation to me....which could mean torn ligaments which could be major time off still.....horrifying injury. My prayers go out to Hayward for full and fast recovery

Can't get better news than that really based on visuals.

So who's the next man up?

So who's the next man up?

Of that caliber? No one this year....tough break for Celts

 

[Kontradiction]

Another cavs vs warriors finals in the books.

It was going to be a Cavs/Dubs Finals even with Hayward healthy.

I’ve loved watching Hayward from his College days...probably my favorite NBA player.
This is really hard to take.
The Celtics are snake bitten. Can’t believe it.

What a bummer. Damn that sucks

A clean fracture is "better" than ligament tear but in that area is tough, I hope there is no nerve damage.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Got to look forward to the new season for less than a quarter, sucks so bad for Hayward and the Celtics as a whole.

Team went from a contender to an also ran playoff team in the East with no chance to even be competitive against a Cleveland.

All the early reports i've read is he'll come back 100% but it's super unlikely to be this year, lets hope there's no bad nerve or ligament damage.

Well as long as he comes back healthy thats all I am hoping for now. This year will be a mediocre year now most likely but with Gordon out Tatum and Brown can get more minutes and develop for next season when Gordon returns.

Brown and Tatum showing up in the 2nd half......both are special....both made LeBron look human

 

[ScottishPatriots]

This will speed up young player development for the future but there's going to be some rough nights.

Brown and Tatum will be better going forward for the extra minutes this year.

 

[IllegalContact]

Ummmm....celts are leading

 

[IcyPatriot]

Looks like he's going to fly back with the team and get medical care in Boston - wise move no need to rush.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Turned the channel right when it happened. I couldn't stomach to watch. Perhaps the saddest thing I've ever witnessed live in sports.

Brown going to the hoop on Lebron ... love the balls on that move.

 

[ALP]

what the team is doing this second half is amazing

not just b/c its CLE, but how to you mentally get over losing one of your star players to an injury like that in basketball? tough

if they pull this out or even have a close game its a win really, team still looks good even w/o hayward

but hayward makes us finals contenders (regardless of the hopeless around here)

6 minutes into the most promising season in so long...sucks big time, good luck to them, hurts as a fan too, hope quick recover for Gordon

 

[IcyPatriot]

Jaylen Brown has grown up a ton ... wow.

 

[ALP]

im seeing a different smart, rozier, and brown, much better than last year

Tatum is better than i expected (i dont watch college ball)

Kyrie still getting his sea legs

Horford looks worse, maybe will take him a little while to get going

I've liked Bynes so far
