Gordon Hayward's Recovery Looks Promising

Good to see him getting around without a boot and putting up some shots.

Could be back in time for the playoffs or last two weeks of the regular season at best.

Seems like there's a chance.

Neat. But the team have been playing so well, would his late season comeback actually effect the team negatively?

I don't think so.

We are 5-5 in our last 10, including losing 4 in a row. Against the Magic at home we looked miserable.

A player like Hayward who is multi-faceted in his game, can only help. In fact, where we hurt at the moment is bench depth (Because when Marcus Smart comes in and he's your number one option, you are in trouble). So if he came back for a bench role for the playoffs, which I think he has the temperament to accept.... We would be that much better.

If he's good to go in time, it looks like he will play. It seems to be good news as it pertains to any soft tissue injuries. Bones tend to heal stronger, so it seems he was very lucky despite how gruesome it was.
