Gordon Hayward just fractured his ankle!
- Thread starter Skooby
- Start date
No one is coming back from a compound fracture in the same season. Was he wearing lowtops?
that's not true. they are saying they were clean breaks. its not that complex of a situation as far as the bones. they just put them back together with pins and plates. his bones are going to be fine, the issue is first dealing with the swelling post-surgery, making sure his skin is ok and doesnt get infected. then the big issue as far as comeback is getting in shape which will be difficult because of how soon he can start rehab to a lower extremity injury. they said it was no ligament or blood vessel damage so injury appears to look a lot worse than it really is. in fact, he may return to action in less time than Isaiah who will have been out for about 8 months by the time he plays. Hayward could possibly return before April.

Yea folks should chill on diagnosis
Although given what Hayward see happen with IT and his injury and subsequent treatment by Boston it really should give him pause about coming back...
I might give that shyt a whole season and summer to rehab.......but it aint my life so he gottta do him
The Celtics overhauled their entire training staff this offseason, possibly because of how they mismanaged IT...

i'm an internist/hospitalist and manage inpatient orthopedics patients on the regular. A few ortho folks i've talked to have told me 4-6 months, closer to 6 for a fracture + dislocation on the assumption ligaments are fine. He could theoretically be back for the playoffs (maybe even a few weeks before) if he rehabs well and they decide to push it.

Yes it looks like it. I doubt high tops would have prevented this tho.No one is coming back from a compound fracture in the same season. Was he wearing lowtops?

Low-key LeThot is responsible for the injury because he bumped into Hayward in mid-air causing him to lose balance and fall out of control on his ankle
But the real gruesome part of that video wasn't even the injury, it was LeThot showing his bald spot in HD on national TV
Negative, watch the replay closely, it was Crowder who did him in.

Let's hope so, you never wanna see a player like him go down for that extended of time

The stanchion was closer in that game where PG got hurt cuz it was an international game. The NBA ones are a lot further back actually.

I never understood why professional basketball players are doing so in low tops. No ankle support which is obviously crucial in this sport.
I do hope so. Hopefully the reports are true about the seriousness of it and surgery goes well. I dont know how good Boston will be in a few months but if they are a playoff team, would love to see him back on the court. Also, the East, which is already thin possibly lost an All Star which sucks but at the same times it opens up a spot for someone else.
I remember when I first saw KD's. I was like ok, cool, so they have a low top and a high top version.
Then when I saw him playing in them I was like
