I saw that last night; seriously ugly injury. Sucks big time for Hayward.
Dr. David J. Chao, an orthopedic surgeon who served as an NFL team doctor for 17 years, tweeted that Hayward could return late this season, but that he “won’t be himself until next season. Going to be hard, but not impossible, to return this season.’’
Dr. Fred Cushner, an orthopedic surgeon, told SiriusXM NBA Radio that he also thinks Hayward could make a return this season.
And Sports Illustrated’s Tim Layden offered this insight from a retired orthopedic surgeon, who termed Hayward’s injury as a possible SER-4 ankle fracture that is “usually not that hard to fix,’’ depending on the degree of the soft tissue damage.
I think they're being overly optimistic, but hope they're right.
