So will Hayward play tonight?

[droopdog7]

Sucks because he can't seem to catch a break.  Or actually, he's catching too many breaks.

I have to imagine he would be playing. I was actually surprised he didn't come back last night once it was revealed he didn't break his nose.

Obviously only he knows how much pain he is actually in, but as an observer that didn't strike me as something that should keep him out for extended time. I'd be surprised if a shot/swipe to the nose could lead to a concussion, but again what do i know.

If he doesn't have a concussion I imagine he'll play. He passed the tests last night, we'll see if he has passed today.

My guess is that the trainers were worried about him going out there if he was concussed and the symptoms just weren't showing up on the neurological exam in the locker room.

Gordon Hayward is officially probable to play tonight with a facial contusion.

Marcus Smart and Robert Williams are both out.

Someone had the audacity to question the decision to not have him return to the game ****. Health and safety clearly is not a concern for certain people.

Evidently he had a really bad headache. Also, remember he left the game with a bit over 6 minutes to go. The game probably ended 15 minutes later. How long do you think it took to evaluate him for a concussion?

Man sucks we don’t have smart. He is such a key player for us. They are at full strength too

For what it's worth, Hayward was driving next to me, by himself, on my way to work this morning. Guessing if he was having any residual effects with either his sight, headaches, etc., he wouldn't have been driving.

I decided not to try and get him to roll his window down so I could ask.

I thought Horford was questionable. Any update?

TP for your restraint.

Ouch. Tough without those two guys available. SEGABABA, too.

He’s had a concussion before. He’s not formally in the protocol, but I heard there was concern the symptoms could still come on. When your head doesn’t feel right a pretty long time after you had your nose smacked caution seems pretty reasonable.

Not sure the time on the clock, but pretty sure it was 3rd quarter.
