Gordon Hayward just fractured his ankle!

[Rigby.]

I don't think some of these posters realize, Hayward was gonna ball out in the east.

20 5 3 consistent player in the west who improved his brand in the playoffs paired up with Kyrie and serviceable role players + young stars in training. He was gonna quietly tear shyt up

No one thought they would best the cavs either way, but who says they wouldve seen the cavs in the ECF? How come nobody talks about the Wizards on the outside looking in? Bron doesn't have a punched ticket into the ECF right now.

Because the wizards are still as top heavy as they were in the first place, they didn’t improve whatsoever

Smh
The gods will do ANYTHING to give LeBron an easy trip to the finals

The chosen one.

Dudes acting like Cavs wouldn't beat them in 6 games or less this year, talking about Bron doesn't have a guarantee to make the ECF then the Wizards aren't going to have that much of a chance anyway. Year after Year,

Rose Bulls
PG Pacers
"Spurs East" Hawks
Raptors
IT Celtics

All were supposed to dethrone the "King" and failed.

So who's next?

 

[theoretic]

smh @ thinking high tops would have prevented that

I wouldnt say the Wizards havent improved.

On paper, no. However, they have the least changes and most cohesiveness and stability being that Wall, Beal, and Porter all signed their extensions. They can play without distraction and they already have their chemistry and style they want to play. If they start the season in shape, they can have a better regular season than last year and they shouldnt gas out in the postseason.

smh @ thinking high tops would have prevented that

idk who said that. I surely wouldnt. however, high tops do reduce the severity of sprains. ballin in low tops is just asking for it.

I picked the Wiz to finish 2nd even before Hayward injury. I actually think they could pull a Boston and get #1 if Cavs dont try and push hard in reg season.

I never understood why professional basketball players are doing so in low tops. No ankle support which is obviously crucial in this sport.

YOU NOT A HOOPER.

LOW TOPS GIVE YOU MORE FREEDOM.

YOU CAN CUT AND CHANGE DIRECTION
MUCH BETTER IN A GREAT PAIR OF LOWS.

It was a dumbass play so early in the game to try and show out.

Hayward can do those oops as it was a common play they ran on the Jazz, but he didn't even have a great angle to him. Hayward should have known better too.

Just a complete dumbass play all around.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Terry Rozier fukks up 25 lobs per season and I've yet to see a player have their ankle turned sideways as a result. It was a freak accident

 

[MalikReloaded]

It's not just a fracture, it's a break and an extreme dislocation. Same shyt happened to me in January, and his shyt looked even worse than mine. He's going to need the bone to heal, going to have to pray there's no ligament damage, probably will need a couple screws in there, then will have to start a rigorous rehab routine to get back to walking, running, and cutting comfortably. He'll probably never be the same, and will be more of a spot-up shooter than anything. His athleticism wasn't amazing before this, so forget about slashing. Terrible. His prime was going to be fun to watch.

That's fukked up man. First game too. I feel like shyt for laughing at Twitter jokes now.

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.

Y'all dudes talking about coming back for playoffs......

Coming back then would be the last thing I would want to do

I'm sure IT give him his thoughts...

 

[Chrishaune]

It looked bad... He'll be back walking in less than a year...

 

[MillionMills]

Any updates on what the diagnosis is?
