heartbreaking hayward injury

[kobemagee29]

that is very hard to watch

[whodatbeastly16]

Horrible :(

[JustinVerlander07]

Absolutely terrible, feel horrible for the guy.

[bballer]

Put the whole arena in wow. Heartbreaking...

[nfunk]

Man, my stomach is still in knots.
Terrible.

[Brobocop]

Only six minutes in on your first regular season game. Just horrible. Almost wonder how the rest of the players can even finish the game.

[crazymj]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle?

[LeonfromNC]

All the air just went out in the arena

[LeonfromNC]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle? My 2nd fantasy pick

Uh no

Go find the clip and you tell me what happened as you see his leg dangling on the floor

[lyyca]

cringing, my god...heard that snap. Terrible! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

[JustinVerlander07]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle? My 2nd fantasy pick

He broke either his ankle, leg, or both.

Nobody really cares about your fantasy team right now, he's a human being.

[Cavaliercards]

That is gut wrenching

[Brobocop]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle? My 2nd fantasy pick

Hey gotta keep things in perspective. Sure, Gordon probably broke his ankle or maybe even his leg, but your fantasy team is what matters here.

And this.

[BostonNut]

Well, Cleveland just won the East.

That was a fun race for six minutes.

[Soxrule111]

Def not looking this up, worse than that NCAA Tourny Snap (Ware?)

[JMarchand1981]

Big props to the cavs fans in attendance. It shouldn't go without mentioning.

[Boo]

Well, Cleveland just won the East.

That was a fun race for six minutes.

Could be back if it's "just" a broken leg

[BostonNut]

Def not looking this up, worse than that NCAA Tourny Snap (Ware?)

Kevin Harlan just kept repeating "Hayward has broken his leg, Hayward has broken his leg."

It was nauseating.

[bdoody42]

Hate to see that happen to any player. To the guy who mentioned his fantasy team....you're a douche bag.

[BostonNut]

Could be back if it's "just" a broken leg

When your foot is pointing the other direction, I think not.

[GoClips!]

Just totally heartbreaking. Kyrie was losing it on the sideline. This is just awful, and couldn't have happened to a seemingly nicer guy. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

[SHowley2003]

Def not looking this up, worse than that NCAA Tourny Snap (Ware?)

It was tough footage. Not as gruesome as aware or even PG13 IMO but the sound was picked up by mic and the cameras zoomed in on the dislocated ankle/leg as he was down and showed too much. They did an overhead replay and you don’t see the break like you did the other two. Hayward falls back as his foot rolls under him.

[the27guy]

I was so mad when he left us... but I'm heart broken for him. He's a wonderful person. Really really sad.

[airtaiwan]

Hard to watch.
Just pray that he will be back to the game soon.

[SHowley2003]

Kevin Harlan just kept repeating "Hayward has broken his leg, Hayward has broken his leg."

It was nauseating.

That as what got me. It was so raw.

[moosetequila]

My GAWD, pretty much snapped his ankle right off... horrible.

[shumpert2190]

Wow..first quarter of the NBA season. That really sucks

[Hegotgame15]

WTF...

[Tarheelsfan2012]

Devastating injury for Hayward. The reaction by the Cavs bench let you know how bad it looked :( .

[cdub6238]

i mean you couldnt see it "as it happened"..but yeah the announcer just kept repeating hes broken his leg hes broken his leg..and went to the replay and showed it up close..

made me say oh $ and almost lose my breathe...

hate to see it as someone else said, he seemed like a pretty grounded and centered "star"..

[Nyfancam01]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle? My 2nd fantasy pick

Are you kidding me!??? WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT YOUR STUPID FANTASY TEAM

dude just broke his leg, ended his season and is in some MAJOR pain and your fantasy basketball team matters?

Not cool at all man. Jeez. And I don't even like the celtics. Real life and human beings health will always be more important than sports and damn sure more important than any fantasy team.

[TWard]

Just watched it. Holy crap, I can't help but feel bad for the guy.


(Also not surprised a fantasy team was mentioned).

[persona]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle? My 2nd fantasy pick

F*ck you and Your fantasy team...

[Boo]

F*ck you and Your fantasy team...

Well then

[Andy5]

Kevin Harlan just kept repeating "Hayward has broken his leg, Hayward has broken his leg."

It was nauseating.

That and then they cut to a close up of the broken leg. Like wtf TNT?

Horrific injury.

[pac_rat_76]

That definitely looked like it hurt! I probably would have lost my lunch if I seen that right next to me.

[Cavaliercards]

Just watched it. Holy crap, I can't help but feel bad for the guy.


(Also not surprised a fantasy team was mentioned).

There are idiots tweeting at Gordon about that, shows you how the mentality of sports has changed.

Everyone hating on me. I was just mention I like him so much that he's my second pick. Obviously I'm not crying about my fantasy team.

[TWard]

Jesus Christ. That is absolutely pathetic on so many levels. Dude suffered a horrific injury for god sakes. Just pitiful, absolutely pitiful.

Hope he has a speedy recovery though. I hate to see that, especially 6 minutes into his Celtics career.

[AbraCalabro]

F*ck you and Your fantasy team...

suspension incoming

As soon as a mod sees this you're going on a vacation, I would change this if I were you. Had I posted this I would have already been suspended yesterday. Just a FYI.

Also for every one bashing crazymj, look at his avatar, he's a Chihuahua, give the guy a break. Also I don't think his mind set is as cold hearted as people are making it out to be.

[Nyfancam01]

Just saying man... I believe you and I have done deals in the past before? And i've always liked ya but dang man. He just suffered a hardcore injury. That's the most important thing right now.

[Oldschool42]

The C's need to do some serious regrouping. As a fan of the C's I'm in shock, imagine how the players feel. The season is not lost. The kids are going to have to grow up in a hurry.
As an aside he got hurt early so he will have a long time to heal and recover. Sorta like when Brady got hurt in his first game in 08. Even if he has to sit out the first two-three months next season he should be back. PG13 came back and I never thought he'd play at a high level again. But what do I know, I'm not a doctor.
I was really looking forward to the battles with Cleveland and Washington with the new Big 3.

[cornelljw]

Jae Crowder undercut the heck out of him and threw him a little bit to the ground

[Devi8or]

I was walking back to my hotel after grabbing some food, my wife texts me "omg Paul George situation"

Saw it on Twitter, ouch. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery

[asujbl]

By video, unfortunately ankle fracture dislocation. Will need immediate reduction, eventual surgery. Will miss most if not all of season.

That was the tweet of Dr. David Chao who does football stuff for PFT

[majestik101]

Very Theismann-esque. My heart goes out to him right now, that looked career ending. I hope it's not though.

[JustinVerlander07]

If your first reaction is "my fantasy team" then your priorities are off.

[crazymj]

I know tension is high so I don't take anything personally. Maybe I just didn't word it correctly. I was hoping injury not as bad as it looked. Like if I said damn sux for Gordon Hayward, he's my favorite and main personal collection. Would everyone hate on me because it sounds like I'm worried about my collection? (I guess maybe)

[Andy5]

There's people making memes and jokes about the Hayward injury already. Absolute disgrace.

[hofcollector2]

That was bad but the Paul George break was worse. I'll never forget that one.

[ordietrying99]

That sort of extreme structural bone damage lower in the leg or ankle area is typically accompanied by ligament and tendon damage. I would venture to say his Achilles is torn, or possibly severed. That was absoluteley gruesome and I hope not to see it again. This will be a very difficult injury to ever "fully" recover from, particularly psychologically for Hayward. His game really leans on a certain aggressive style of play, and that might change. Hopefully Stevens and the Celtics are patient and with him thru the long haul of rehab and whatnot. Horrific.

I just wanted to make the joke that he's a Chihuahua because how funny would it be if he was really a Chihuahua that could type and use a computer?


Also, as an aside, if it was Clay Bennett instead of Gordon Hayward I'd be breaking out party favors. Feel free to judge me on that one.


P.S. Did not watch the footage and since I'd like to keep my food down, I think I'm going to pass on watching.

[ReggieEvansPC]

No. It was a freak accident. Nothing more.

[tolrobb]

i've seen worse football injuries, but that was one of the worst i've seen in basketball. 25 years ago, his career is over. he will be back stronger than ever physically, it's the mental stuff you gotta worry about imo.

[codered]

Just tuned into the game. Sucks to hear. Hopefully a speedy and full recovery for Hayward. I know I don't want to see the reply judging by the posts! Sounds like it was awful. Celtics have had some terrible luck since 86.

[TWard]

Fractured ankle, apparently

[jifengjeff]

Sad sad news for Celtics, fk injuries :(

[Earlsnake07]

I am not a NBA fan by any means, but was somewhat excited to watch tonight because of the hype.

Man...unreal....good on Cleveland fans not being DB's

Hope for a speedy recovery

[NoleinJax]

Just brutal. Not sure if I've ever seen an ankle like that. Hopefully he can recover in due time.

[NoleinJax]

It's twitter. You can't judge any segment of society based on twitter responses.

[Rareairx23]

Lot of people attacking lbj too, that guy is all motherf'ing class, the people on the interwebs attacking him are pathetic. The dude was crying for god sakes and was showing pure raw emotion. People are kidding themselves if they really believe he did that on purpose

[Cavaliercards]

Fractured ankle, apparently

That is better than some of the alternatives.

[wethenorth]

more info about fractured ankle:

A broken ankle is also known as an ankle "fracture." This means that one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint are broken.

A fractured ankle can range from a simple break in one bone, which may not stop you from walking, to several fractures, which forces your ankle out of place and may require that you not put weight on it for a few months.

Simply put, the more bones that are broken, the more unstable the ankle becomes. There may be ligaments damaged as well. The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint in position.

Broken ankles affect people of all ages. During the past 30 to 40 years, doctors have noted an increase in the number and severity of broken ankles, due in part to an active, older population of "baby boomers.

[GoldPanner]

it was obviously a bad injury but people get so sensitive over this stuff. It’s not like he’s in critical condition or anything. I mean I get how everyone has to become some keyboard warrior for some multi millionaire who suffered an injury that obviously looked bad but isn’t really affecting his health or leaving him crippled. If people only got this angered over things that really matter.

This is true ... that Guy Fieri chef was making all the California wildfire victims BBQ other day and twitter attacked him for using a smoker ... morons

[GoldPanner]

It’s not like he’s going to be in a wheelchair. Maybe he won’t be able to be an Olympic sprinter. People recover from broken bones all the time and are as good as new and this is a world class athlete in peak physical condition.

By "food", you mean a hooker, right?

Hoping for a quick recovery as well.

[Hegotgame15]

Meanwhile this is still a game....Boston could use a win mental win here.

[LALeakers]

Damn that sux, any chance just dislocated ankle?

Go smash your computer onto the ground, absolutely sickening comment.


Get real.

[Goldminer]

Lebron did that on purpose he dirty AF.

Just saw the injury. Definitely not dislocated, it looks severed. Done for season, might be done until next year this time before even rehabbing.

Welcome to 2017. Where no one, anywhere, has any common decency.

[chugga15]

That was really hard to watch.

Skip Bayless sure is a piece of work (tweet right after injury):

"If Gordon Hayward is gone, maybe for the season, LeBron's path to losing a sixth finals gets even easier."

It's twitter. You can't judge any segment of society based on twitter responses.

You can though. Twitter is the sad truth of what happens when you give people enough anonymity that they feel safe from consequences, yet give them enough access to easily attack people. Twitter shows you the ugly dark side of a lot of society.

[RedSoxFan28]

Don't have a problem with LeBron on the play, was clearly going for the ball, but what was Crowder doing?

[HP7163]

All it shows you is what you already know .. just like the cliche "you are who you hang out with" same goes for the internet ..

if you choose to read the negative and get sucked in your become what you hate about society.. we've all been guilty in some way shape or form but there's also plenty of positive out there

[celtics]

Dr. on Fox Sports Boston just said he could be back in 4 months based on the info he has now.

I'll just be happy if he is 100% for next season.

[rngrdanny22]

Damn. That's terrible.

[Brobocop]

Hoping for a clean break with no ligament or tendon damage. I'm a Cleveland fan and that was horrible to see. You just never want to see something like that happen to any athlete, whether they are on your team or against them.

[rhigh2390]

REALLY hope this is the case!!

[yiguiri2002]

Really awful. Specially on a new team and 6 minutes into the season.

Now, am I the only one that thought the way the shoe ended up made it seem worse? I immediately turned my attention towards the shoe and thought Broken Leg (based on the angle). After multiple replays, it looks like the shoe was loose and the leg was not turned in the direction, it looked like something with the ankle.

Also, I don't think the season is lost. If that's the ankle, as some people has mentioned,
Gordon should be back by April. Not great but at least he'll be able to play.

[HP7163]

That would be a crazy lucky scenario.. hope it's true

[Andy5]

Dislocated ankle and fractured tibia, probably ligament damage too.

[exoticprince]

Was really tough to watch. He'll hopefully be fine as thankfully he's still young so has a much better chance for a full recovery. Hopefully PG's recovery can give him confidence. You hate to see that especially when an athlete works so hard over the summer to prepare for a new season which suddenly becomes at risk 6 minutes into it

[Master Shake]

Not going to lie, it was hard to walk after seeing that injury. Every time I would take a step and hear my ankle crack I felt nauseous. Here's hoping Heyward has a speedy recovery and is able to get back this season.

I'm walking fine to grab another beer .. hope u get well soon

[ljandkg]

Didn't watch the Ware injury or the George injury and not watching this. Here's hoping GH makes a speedy recovery. Heartbreaking way to start with the C's.

[pingbling23]

Prayers for Hayward, I hope he's back that soon!!!

[SteveIsLegend]

My friend broke his tibia playing basketball a couple months ago. Went up for a rebound, landed awkwardly, snap.

He said he'll never forget the sound of a bone just snapping in real life, and the fact that the mics picked up that sound is really what made him cringe, like he was reliving it all over again. Scary stuff.

[whodatbeastly16]

Horrible to watch. Hayward is a beast, I'm sure he'll recover and be back stronger than ever

[tjforce]

Horrible to watch. Hayward is a beast, I'm sure he'll recover and be back stronger than ever

I'm not sure he will be.

[strider_boi]

F*ck you and Your fantasy team...

I agree... the hell does anyone care for your fantasy team.
I thought that member had more class then that.

[inopethflames]

ill be anxious to hear more updated medical info that can say more firmly how long he's estimated to be out for. i cant fathom he would be back this season, 6 months from now is middle of may though, maybe he could be back for the east finals, i would not even risk that though. just hopefully hes back completely nba healthy by the start of next season.

i would be so disappointed if i was a huge boston fan, and i would just have liked to seen the whole team play for the year and see how it went. i think they will still be a great team within a month though, this will give tatum and brown more minutes and they both look like they could be good players this season and have a lot of upside, especially if brown can learn to shoot.

i dont remember this ever happening in the nba and now pg had it happen like 2.5 years ago and now hayward, hopefully it goes back to being even more incredibly rare.

[jlzinck]

Are you kidding me!??? WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT YOUR STUPID FANTASY TEAM

dude just broke his leg, ended his season and is in some MAJOR pain and your fantasy basketball team matters?

Not cool at all man. Jeez. And I don't even like the celtics. Real life and human beings health will always be more important than sports and damn sure more important than any fantasy team.


El Oh El coming from the guy who couldn't sell quick enough when Bill Paxon died:rolleyes:

I hope the young man heals completely. I only saw the "safe" TNT Replay. That was bad enough for me.
