Celtics' Gordon Hayward breaks left leg in gruesome NBA opening night injury

Gordon Hayward's Celtics debut came to a horrific early finish, breaking his lower left leg and dislocating his left ankle halfway through the first quarter of the NBA's season-opening game.
"Hayward has broken his leg, Hayward has broken his leg," TNT broadcaster Kevin Harlan repeated immediately upon Hayward collapsing.
The Celtics and Cavaliers' medical staffs both examined him and determined it was an ankle fracture, the Celtics said in a news release. Coach Brad Stevens then clarified that it was actually a dislocated ankle and fractured tibia, which is part of the lower leg, according to Tim Bontemps of the Washington Post. Hayward was carted off the court after being attended to by medical staff.

The Celtics were leading 12-9 when Hayward left at the 6:45 mark in the first. The Cavaliers went on a 20-7 run to finish the first quarter up 29-19.
The 27-year-old small forward is coming off the first All-Star season of his career, averaging 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists a game in a breakout year. He signed with Boston this offseason to play for his college coach, Brad Stevens, after seven seasons with the Jazz.

I was watching it live. Such a shame. Jeremy Lin out too? No one is safe from injury. In football, OBJ and Aaron Rodgers both have season ending injuries too. Jeez.

It has killed the fantasy football league this year for sure. I have a lot of second/third string people on my lineup

Nasty year for injuries

Yeah.. I think that's broken. That's hard to watch. I remember watching a video of a college basketball player completely destroying his leg; literally.

I was watching this live as it happened seeing how both teams traded pieces and I wanted to see Kyrie back in Cleveland for the first time. Sucks to get put out like that in the season opener and towards the beginning of the game with such a gruesome injury. Hopefully Hayward heals up good and I wish nothing but the best for him moving on with his NBA career. Also glad to see Paul George talking to man seeing how he suffered a similar injury not long ago.
