The pictures weren’t pretty. In the first quarter against the Raptors, Gordon Hayward landed badly and twisted his left ankle, along with Gary Trent Jr. who landed on his leg.
Fortunately, the examinations did not show a fracture but the winger still suffered from a major sprain of the ankle ligaments. The Hornets announced that he would be absent until further notice.
Another blow for the former Boston and Utah who was already struggling since his return from the health protocol. After his six missed matches, Gordon Hayward had only scored 7 points in two matches, with a terrible 3/20 in shooting before this injury against Toronto.
