Hornets Forward Gordon Hayward Out Indefinitely
Right Foot Sprain Sidelines All-Star
Continued Discomfort in Left Foot Cause for Concern
The Charlotte Hornets have announced that All-Star forward Gordon Hayward will be out indefinitely due to a right foot sprain. The injury occurred during a recent game and has been causing continued discomfort in Hayward's left foot.
Hayward signed a four-year, $128 million contract with the Hornets in the offseason after spending the previous three seasons with the Boston Celtics. He averaged 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game last season and was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
The Hornets will miss Hayward's contributions on the court while he is sidelined. The team is currently 20-41 and in 14th place in the Eastern Conference. They are hoping that Hayward will be able to return to the lineup before the end of the season and help them make a push for a playoff spot.
Hayward is a valuable player for the Hornets both on and off the court. He is a skilled scorer and rebounder, and he also provides leadership and experience to a young team. His absence will be a significant blow to the Hornets, and they will need to find a way to replace his production.
The Hornets have not announced a timetable for Hayward's return, but it is likely that he will be out for several weeks. The team is hoping that he will be able to return before the end of the season, but it is too early to tell how long he will be sidelined.
Hayward's injury is a reminder of the risks involved in playing professional basketball. Even the most talented players can suffer serious injuries that can impact their careers. The Hornets will need to be patient with Hayward and support him as he recovers from this injury.
