Title: Season over- Hayward breaks leg in 1st quarter (ankle fracture dislocation?)
Post by: CelticsElite on October 17, 2017, 08:16:31 PM
Wow

Video of the injury (warning: a bit gruesome): https://youtu.be/axJswI60JwE


Looks like Crowder gets underneath hayward and pushes hard, sending Hayward into an awkward landing.

Video on Celtics Gordon Hayward shoes ankle fracture dislocation. Good news: he will be back @ 100%. Bad news: likely done for the year.

By video, unfortunately ankle fracture dislocation. Will need immediate reduction, eventual surgery. Will miss most if not all of season.

Its not over it means Tatum is going to play all year.  But in a sense it is tragic and LeBron should have been whistled for a foul on that play.  They did not let him land.

Realistically, it will be a hard fight just to get past the first round.

Starting lineup is now quite offensively anemic and extremely inexperienced.

Paul george when he had a compound fracture:

There was no additional damage, according Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard. George is expected to remain hospitalized for approximately three days.
A source indicated it'd take at least six months for George to be able to get back on his feet and longer to return to the court, putting his 2014-15 season in jeopardy


Hope he's back next year at full strength

Absolutely horrific scenario. Terrible for him, for the team. His health is of course the primary concern, but as for basketball, we might've just seen Danny's years-long rebuild go up in flames, and his 5-year plan change entirely.

I have not seen anything like this since Thiesman. George did not look this bad. Lebron was at fault too. It will take all I have not to hate Lejoke with a great sustain that will never waver. Praying for Heyward. We all should buy Heyward's jersey.

This is really bad.  We were counting on Hayward to be a veteran presence, goto #2 scoring option.

And now?  Celtics are in limbo.  We have 30m in cap space tied up in Hayward.  I hope he's going to be ok but likely lost for season and C's are cap strapped now so what moves can they make?

We made it to the ECF last year, and didn’t give up anything to get Hayward. It will be a similar season to last year. Win 1st round, tough series with Wzards/Raptors, and if we win, get destroyed by Cavs in ECF. But by no means will this put a 1st round series win in jeopardy. Think before you post.

We get a "Disabled Player Exception" to sign, trade for, or claim off waivers a player making up to 50% of Hayward's contract, so long as that player is signed for a one year deal or is in the last year of his contract.

I disagree we didn't have to give up anything to get him. We made a trade to move out Bradley to clear up cap space. We also then sorta overpaid for Kyrie giving up Crowder to sorta balance things out and now here we are.
I'm not saying it will be hard to get past the first round but I disagree we didn't give up anything for him. We gave up a max contract. That's kinda important

Yes, it looked like a compound fracture with dislocation as well. His ankle is what it looked like but not sure.

It looks like he landed on  the side of his foot, then his bottom part of his leg bended backwards

which means best case scenerio he broke his ankle  and tore his knee ligaments

VS

what happened to PG13 who landed like Hayward did...but on a forward motion and his femur had to bear all the weight and it snapped


really hope it is only a broken ankle mainly vs broken femur or any part of his leg bone broken

Not that we can find a player in Free Agency as good as Hayward, but we could atleast get some help with that (what could be) an open roster spot.

I don't think it was malicious... it was like a box out attempt and instead made Gordon go off balance and fall on the side of his feet which caused the injury

Hope he comes back as strong as ever and no long term injuries.

Ainge has to use that last roster spot you'd think on a veteran

Mind you I'm yet to see a single 50/50 call go our way,

Feel so bad for him. I am speechless. Feels classless for Cleveland to still boo Kyrie at this point. LeBron ends Gordon's season 5 min into the season. We spent so long recruiting him for this to happen...

Looking forward to the young guys getting minutes and a stronger Gordon next year, but what a blow!

That’s true, but our cap space was a chance to improve our team. The cap space we had last year played no part in us making the ECF. Does that make sense? We’re still the same team value wise, and it was our choice to make the Kyrie deal and AB deal.

One of most brutal injuries ever seen in basketball. Definitely hope he recovers but we are now in worse position then last season with no bradley. We have zero second scorer option now. No foul on that play?

We are literally one injury away from lottery and being the 97 spurs. I am in Ohio now and my coworkers think there is zero chance Kyrie does not get injured. Let us hope not. We need miracle rookie performances..not likely.

So bummed...good luck Hayward...so sickening

Video on Celtics Gordon Hayward shoes ankle fracture dislocation. Good news: he will be back @ 100%. Bad news: likely done for the year.
I have patience so this is comforting. Id rather he be back 100%

Rationale side of me says this is a freak accident and no one to blame.

Other part of me is seething at Kyrie for throwing that pass against Lebron/Crowder and putting Hayward in that position.

Hope he comes back as strong as ever and no long term injuries.
Seething at Kyrie....now that just baffles me. You're mad at Kyrie for throwing a pass? SMH on that one.

Ya it’s not his fault but if you rewind to him and hortford talking he says “it’s my fault”. I’m claiming temporary insanity for tonight so ya I’m mad at that pass being thrown.
Judging by kyrie reaction with smart and others in huddle and exchange with horford shortly after, he looked like he absolutely blames himself already and feels terrible about it. So let's give the guy some slack here when he's probably more mad at himself than any of us could possibly be.. not the biggest fan of the pass but it's not like he wanted that to happen or expected LeBron to come over and cause the injury

maybe there could be hope he recovers before the playoffs start?

Outcomes

Although most people return to normal daily activities, except for sports, within 3 to 4 months, studies have shown that people can still be recovering up to 2 years after their ankle fractures. It may take several months for you to stop limping while you walk, and before you can return to sports at your previous competitive level. Most people return to driving within 9 to 12 weeks from the time they were injured.

an Ankle fracture is far worse than a normal leg fracture and if the surgery didn’t go well he may very likely end his career
It's better than a broken knee in nature but it's more complicated, thus the skill level of the doctor will be the center key, of course high-end rehab will also be needed for him to be him again

Post by: Eja117 on October 17, 2017, 09:19:11 PM
When I was in my late teens I snapped my ankle. I never had a broken ankle so I just thought it was really badly sprained and drove my motorcycle home, upon which my parents immediately diagnosed we had to go to the hospital.

I believe I was told I had all three ligaments snapped, and I chipped off some ankle bone that was screwed on and got surgery.

I was running in a walking cast in 4 weeks. Then I had several weeks (maybe 8 or something) of rehab which involved a lot of stretching and range of motion stuff.

It happened in spring. I was certainly doing full athletic activity pain free by the next fall no problem. I was playing both rugby and fencing. And that was in the mid 90s. I'd like to think things are a little better now in some ways.

Luckily I don't think I messed up my tendons much and didn't fracture anything real badly, but it was a pretty bad ankle injury.

So when I hear ankle injury I try to be optimistic.  To be fair I didn't have to play at an NBA level and Gordon's situation seems worse than mine.

I think we need to wait for the MRI

This injury, given that it was by the ankle and appeared broken, is probably worse than the Paul George injury.  I'm not claiming to be a doctor, but I saw my friend compound fracture is leg in nearly the same spot, and he can't even jog years later.  It's honestly possible that Hayward's career is done.  What then?  What then when we have his salary cap hit for the next 4-years?  This is franchise changing, and in the worst way possible.  I am so depressed from it. :'(

via Google search on ankle fracture (general)

Your provider may do x-rays 7 to 10 days and 1 month after your injury to see how your ankle is healing. Your provider will let you know when you can return to regular activities and sports. Most people need at least 6 to 10 weeks to fully heal.

The hard part is if the bone is affected and changed it's place it needs to be put back to Original place in order for all the parts(other bones, ligaments) to function smoothly

The problem is unless you know Gordon's original bone alignment(every body is different and his right is also different to his left) before injury(which is almost impossible), it's very very hard to do it
Even a slight difference of place or degree of the bone can affect his joiint(assume we are talking about high end performance, normal life will be fine)

This is a heckuva bummer to come home to. You just never know in sports. Yesterday it was Rodgers.

You can only hope he recovers to play again. Reminds me of George's injury. Displaced fracture like that probably means the season.

An opportunity for Tatum and Brown, who will surely see more minutes. They have enough depth to absorb this injury, with Morris up front as well.

Hayward was not much of a factor pre-season. I got the impression he was still getting acclimated. No question this puts Tatum in the limelight.

Mike Gorman says on @NBCSBoston early indication is that Hayward’s fracture is clean. No ligament or blood vessel damage. #Celtics
I guess when they put the bones back they found out the pain reduced alot or he can move the ankle smoothly, that's a hell of a good news

Oh man that would be sooo good if this is even a little better than expected.

Its a lot better than expected. There were people concerned he may never be the same or that it's a Shaun Livingston situation. It looks like the type of injury where a surgery and 6 month recovery and we'll get him back

I know I'm a natural pessimist when it comes to sports, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but I can see tonight's near-win being sort of the high point of the season. Sure, they're still a good team, and should get better as the season goes on, and they'll still (probably) have a good record and (maybe) have home court at least in the first round, but this team has a lot of youth and inexperience, and for every "near-win" or "moral victory" (or actual win) against a Cleveland or Golden State or Houston, there will probably be two or three disappointing performances against mediocre or sub-.500 teams.

So did they "re-locate" the ankle on the court? The pain from the fracture being moved while they did that must've been fun for old Gordy..

Dude must be super p---ed. Look forward to hearing what he has to say about the play, and rehab generally.

Here goes the excitement for the season... and possibly our future.

Terrible injury, I feel very bad for Gordon Hayward who didn't even have the chance to start this new chapter of his career. Hope he recovers well and as quickly as possible but I think he is at least out for this season and part of the next one.

I'm sure stupid Utah fans will bring up the word "karma". You could tell how bad it was seeing the reaction of Celtics and Cavs players alike after the injury.

I mean it really sucks but there is some positive to look forward to here.

Tatum and Brown at ages 19 and 20 looked incredibly composed in the 2nd half.
Personally I'm still really excited about this season to see these two guys develop.
Marcus Smart and Rozier were incredible too.

Hayward's injury is devastating for our chances at potentially making the finals, but we can still strive to make the ECF as a goal and watch Brown/Tatum/Smart/Rozier all develop.

Kyrie looks simply amazing in catch and shoot situations as well. And he had 10 assists!

Plenty to still smile about while we mourn the loss of Hayward.

Lots of "cautious optimism" coming from doctors that have commented on the nature of the injury.  It obviously sucks to see him get hurt like that but I honestly felt bad for Gordon.  As a Celtics fan my only concern is/was the potential for Gordon to come back at 100% in the future.  All early indications show that a full recovery is very likely.  The only thing it hurts for this season is our ability to beat the Cavs in the ECF.  I still think this team has the talent to put up a fight against Toronto, Washington, Milwaukee etc. 

All we can root for as fans is for this team to max out its potential with the current roster.

The good news for us is that we are absolutely loaded with young talent and I still am pumped to see the everyone's development throughout the season.

Pretty much my feeling as well.  I am not able to read all the threads and comments, just too painful an event.  However, I take solace in that the young guys will get more PT and may develop faster.  Those guys you listed are all 23 or under!

Yes, I was really impressed by Brown, he looks like a totally different player from last year. Very confident. Tatum looked good for a rookie too so hopefully more playing time will allow them to improve quickly and become key players.

I agree with both of you.  I have always been a fan that tries to enjoy the ride and fortunately we have a coach that will get the most out of our group.  There is so much to look forward to for this season and I have zero doubts that this is going to be a fun team to watch.

This thought actually came to me a few minutes after the injury. It could have been a lot worse.

Either way, the season is not lost. 81 games left. This is still a playoff team and players like JB, JT,  and Semi will greatly benefit from the exposure they will get in the coming months.

Let's hope GH has a good surgery and that maybe he can come back by playoff time.

The downside is this stinks.   The silver lining is that Tatum and Brown are going to play and develop big time.  The following year this will make us a ton stronger!  I am still sad over it but this will help us in the long run it is just one of those things that doesn't seem that way at first.

Not really helpful. A lot of us devote too much of our personal time - even during the summer - to researching, discussing, and watching the Cs. Expectations were high this season and to not even get a 1/2 quarter of basketball of our exciting new team is disappointing.

Of course, without the trade, the injury never happens.  For all we know, a never-traded Jae would have undercut a jumping Lebron and ended his season.

The injury sucks enough without going down the hypothetical road.

People should be allowed to vent even if you think you are too cool to do so.

Not an issue of being cool. Just not being chicken little. The Celtics were not favored to win a ring yesterday, and they aren't today. The season is not over. I was pointing out that many are acting weak here. Many teams have overcome injuries to have good seasons. There are many potential positives that could come out of this season.

Crossing fingers season is not over... We will see what the doctors say

I'm almost positive Hayward could be back if they wanted him to come back.  While the dislocations and breaks are horrific looking injuries, they aren't the worst injuries.  Look at Kobe, you couldn't even tell anything happened to him other than his limp, but a torn Achilles tendon is something players have a really hard time coming back to their old selves from.   Edelman's knee injury didn't look bad at all, most of the time that is a two year injury before the player has all the explosion back he had before.

Seriousness wise, I don't think this injury is that bad.  Bones heal really well and remarkably quickly.  Often the bone is stronger after it heals than it was before.  Other than that San Fransisco pitcher, I think it was a guy named Black but I could be wrong, who had a tumor that weakened his forearm and Romo with is clavicle, I can't think of any athlete that has broken a major bone, not including something like the hamate bone for hitters, more than once.      Dislocations pop back in and as long as all the tendons aren't torn it is like a really bad sprain. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hayward back in late January or early February.  Athletes at this young age heal quickly.  How effective he will be could be another matter with his conditioning and skill loss from not playing.

Recent Speculation

Determining how long Hayward will be sidelined is difficult as injuries of this magnitude rarely have a good comparison, especially in the NBA. Initial associations to Paul George’s gruesome leg injury during the summer of 2014 are natural but the two injuries are drastically different. George’s injury was an open fracture of both the tibia and the fibula. Though a rod was eventually inserted to stabilize the fracture site, the break actually occurred in a favorable location. By breaking the bones near the mid-shaft, George was able to avoid extensive ligament and tendon damage. However, it is unlikely Hayward was as fortunate. His break occurred at the distal end of the tibia, a site that serves as an anchor site for multiple ligaments. Furthermore, it is rare that a dislocation occurs without some level of ligament or soft tissue damage. Damage to the articular cartilage of the talus must also be considered. – via In Street Clothes

Furthermore, it is rare that a dislocation occurs without some level of ligament or soft tissue damage. Damage to the articular cartilage of the talus must also be considered.

Surgery to fix the area will likely involve surgical screws and a plate, not a rod. These implants help stabilize the injury site as the associated ligament damage heals. Any complex ligament injuries may need to be surgically addressed as well.

The closest comparable injury in the InStreetClothes.com NBA Injury Database occurred during the 2006-07 season when 76ers forward Shavlik Randolph suffered a broken and dislocated left ankle. The injury occurred in practice and wasn’t televised but the scene was reported as “gruesome.” Randolph underwent surgery later that day and missed the remaining 68 games of the season.

My infant niece cries less than the sissies on this blog.

Hayward is a very good player, but he is certainly not Lebron.

This almost guarantees that Jaylen, Tatum, and Smart will get extended minutes this year, thus expediting their development.

If you thought that the Celtics were going to beat GS, you're crazy.

Waaaaaaa.

I was reading through many of these posts. Understandably, many are emotional.

After a day of thinking, do many of the posters that abide by the theory that this season is over still believe this?

If so, why? What has changed since Gordon Hayward is no longer available?

I'm an optimist and wear green goggles, but even I thought that this team would have their hands full with CLE and would lose to GSW in the finals.

After a day of reflection, I don't think the Celtics destiny this year will be all that different.

Yes, I'm bummed that I won't be able to watch Gordo play this year, but I'm also intrigued that I'll be able to see more Tatum and Brown.

Anyone think that either the Celtics would have beat the Warriors w/ Hayward, or now they won't even make the playoffs without him?

My point is not to beat up on Hayward here.

However, he shot .398 from 3 last year, which is the exact same % as Jae Crowder. Do you consider Jae to be an elite 3 point shooter?

I think Hayward is a good overall bball player. He will be missed.

I just don't think that he pushed the Celtics over the goal line into a new category of winning. In his absence, I don't think that the Celtics will be dramatically different.

The season we THOUGHT we were going to watch is over.  Winning 55-60 games, making a run at the Finals, finally beating Bron.  It's over.

But we still have a team to watch and they're going to fight to make the playoffs and maybe compete to win a series.  Lots of young guys to develop.  And all the way they'll be playing with house money because everybody understands they can't accomplish what they might have if Hayward hadn't gotten hurt.

Of course we're going to look good and win some games.  But to think we're not going to miss an all star that is capable of taking over games is foolish.  The guy cna get 20 points in his sleep.  Guys Jaylen and Tatum have a lot of potential but they're going to be up and down and aren't quite ready to be go to guys and consistently take pressure off Kyrie.

That doesn't take away from the fact that over the last 3 seasons (ignoring the 5 minutes he played this year) he's averaged 20/5/4 on 45/37/82 shooting %'s. For a guy who has never averaged 16 FGA's per game that's pretty good.

It's also a function of the incredibly slow offense Snyder ran last year in Utah. Per100 possessions Hayward was a beast.

I agree with everything you said, just disagree with the idea that we lost some sort of walking scoring machine. Irving and Thomas are guys that can "give you 20 in their sleep", Hayward is probably not so much. But he is a very good player that will score a lot of points for us.

My point is that I don't think the Celtics destiny will be impacted that much this year. Though the Cavs look like a mess, I believe they will put together a roster that is better by the playoffs. I think that they were a tough team to beat, even with Gordo.

I'm not yet buying into other teams in the East being significantly better than the Celtics. Milwaukee and Washington are very beatable, and I think Trouble 07 matches up well with Toronto. Besides Cle, Milwaukee, Tor, and Wash, who else could/would beat the Celtics in the playoffs?

Great points.  Brad is the ultimate equalizer against the rest of the East.  Our raw talent is finally on par with Washington, Toronto, and Milwaukee.  I'm not sure how far we will go but I believe that Brad can mitigate our lack of experience once the playoffs arrive.

I was reading through many of these posts. Understandably, many are emotional.

After a day of thinking, do many of the posters that abide by the theory that this season is over still believe this?

If so, why? What has changed since Gordon Hayward is no longer available?

I'm an optimist and wear green goggles, but even I thought that this team would have their hands full with CLE and would lose to GSW in the finals.

After a day of reflection, I don't think the Celtics destiny this year will be all that different.

Yes, I'm bummed that I won't be able to watch Gordo play this year, but I'm also intrigued that I'll be able to see more Tatum and Brown.

Anyone think that either the Celtics would have beat the Warriors w/ Hayward, or now they won't even make the playoffs without him?

Elite 3pt shooting. 

Losing him means defenses colapsing on all Kyrie's action.  It's gonna be rough

My point is not to beat up on Hayward here.

However, he shot .398 from 3 last year, which is the exact same % as Jae Crowder. Do you consider Jae to be an elite 3 point shooter?

I think Hayward is a good overall bball player. He will be missed.

I just don't think that he pushed the Celtics over the goal line into a new category of winning. In his absence, I don't think that the Celtics will be dramatically different.
Then you must have not watched GH last year. He does everything this team gonna miss him so much. Kyrie gonna be trapped/doubled everytime now. Offense is going to be ugly and the defense we all knew was going to be a work in progress.

The Celtics beat a pretty good team tonight. Both the offense and defense have looked solid at times. I think there's plenty to play for this year. Might there be consensus that this season is, in fact, not over?
Of course we're going to look good and win some games.  But to think we're not going to miss an all star that is capable of taking over games is foolish.  The guy cna get 20 points in his sleep.  Guys Jaylen and Tatum have a lot of potential but they're going to be up and down and aren't quite ready to be go to guys and consistently take pressure off Kyrie.

I don't think anyone is saying that the Celtics won't miss Hayward. That is not the point.

We may well have lost to the Cavs this year with Hayward.  But his injury has significantly reduced whatever chancer we had.  I guess you didn’t need to watch the season play out since you already knew the outcome but I was looking forward to watching the team in the finals.  At least that’s the attitude I was taking and something much more enjoyable than watching the kids grow.

Just curious, how would you feel if this team made it to the Conference finals and pushed Cleveland to 6 or 7 games in a tightly contested series?  I know we all want to see a Finals run but I would have zero complaints if this ended up happening.  To me this result would represent a lot more than simply watching the kids grow.  A great conference finals appearance would only solidify my belief that this team has a chance to beat Golden State at some point in the future.  Obviously there are no guarantees but the core of Kyrie, Hayward, Tatum, Brown, and Horford has a chance to be very special.

I hate saying this as I really like Hayward, but I had preferred Griffin over Hayward (before losing Crowder in the Irving trade). Griffin was thought of the more injury risk(go figure), but a higher upside.  He is off to a great start this year.

Assuming no Hayward, I’d probably be at least somewhat upset because with Hayward we might well have beat them. I mean, it’d be exciting at the same time but you can’t ignore that we lost a significant opportunity here.

So you basically put them on the fast express to the finals when they got Hayward and Irving? I did not anticipate a finals appearance. They got crushed by CLE in the ECF. Those fans that put them on par with CLE are, in my estimation, delusional.

I'm assuming that CLE improves between now and the playoffs. If this really is Lebron's last ride in CLE, they're going to make it a special trip.

The Celtics are not a clear #2 in the East after the Gordo injury, but they are still in the mix.

The Celtics can still beat Lebron's Cavs in the ECF, but they're not favored. They also weren't favored before the Hayward injury. We have to assume that there would be growing pains (even if not literally) with a nearly complete turnover.

I gave them a chance, sure.  Did I think they were the favorite?  Not really but they had a chance.  Now, not so much.  So if the hayward injury doesn't move the needle for you, then you're probably in the minority.  The reality is it put a large dent in whatever chances we had.  You choose to believe the chances were virtually zero.  I don't agree.

And once we get close, I'm not a fan of throwing away chances.  Sure, we might get there in the future but what's wrong with the future being now?

You're underestimating how much Hayward's shooting, creation, and passing would dramatically improve this offense.  This team has won some games but hasn't been good on offense.  In addition to another long defender.

In the Playoffs especially, this Celtics team without his shooting and playmaking will struggle.  Teams can key in more on one or two guys.  That's where he is special.  The guy who gets the ball on the weak side after the defense keys in on the Horford/Iriving pick and roll and he can shoot or attack a rotating defense.

I agree. Losing Hayward stinks. When looking for a silver lining, the Brown/Tatum minutes will have an impact on future winning. If they get valuable playoff experience this year, they will be much better prepared to head into the 18/19 season. That being said, this season is not over.
