Hayward takes part in walkthrough

[Chris22]

Hayward should show up at the game on Sunday and punch out Lebron for injuring him intentionally.

I thought by now he would be doing shooting drills with team mates. Things are progressing slowly.

At this stage I'm not absolutely convinced he'll be 100% for camp next season. Seriously. It's mid-May and he's relearning how to move.

Has anyone ever come back from an injury like this?

I am expecting he will have to come off bench with minutes restrictions to start pre season now

That's fine, Jayson Tatum will take over for the time being.

There is always a chance that someone could struggle to return from such a serious injury. Let’s not take this too far however. Hayward is not relearning how to move. He’s working with a specialist to make sure his rehab goes as well as possible. When dealing with a leg or foot injury it is easy to pick up bad habits and to favor one side over the other. They are just making sure he rehabs the right way.

Yeah, "relearning to move" is an incredibly dishonest description of what he's doing

At one point DA said they had to pull him back a bit which maybe he went too hard and set him back a week or two.

I think the best case was him on the floor was two weeks before playoffs. That ment superfast healing, and progression. Realistic was getting on the floor at this time. And doing drills in mid June to early July. When this happened my wife said 8 months before moving as a normal person with out thinking about it. Now being a pro ball player, thats a whole different story. Couple more months.

Funny thing about injuries too, is that some times you hit a wall. I've had a bad ankle injury that if took about six months to get right, and it wasn't nearly as bad. But if felt like that it would be the same for a month and never got better, and then the next week it felt better. Then it would feel that way for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden after a day of rest, it would be even better.

Next month he could be going full out in drills out of nowhere's.  I wouldn't worry until August if he's not playing at least 3 on 3. But even then if he's close, it's still good. I'd be fine easing him into the line up into the season. I'd be more focused on the after All-Star break. Thats when he really needs to be 100% and back starting.

Of course. Fractures may look horrendous, but unless something else is damaged, your body will be back 100%. These kinds of injuries are relatively common among for example skiers and soccer players. They generally come back. Back injuries, ACLs and MCLs are way more career threatening, since they often return.
Of course there is a mental component as well; being out for long periods of time, regardless of reason, can be devastating, as can the fear of getting reinjured.

kozlodoev likes to post inflammatory nonsense, and he's so unimaginative he's posted this particular bit of inflammatory nonsense once before:

After being taken down for saying that Hayward was "relearning how to run," he's now not only brought that back, he's doubled down:

Hayward is not just relearning how to run, he's RELEARNING HOW TO MOVE.

The whole idea of a setback has been overblown. It seems it was the normal sort of soreness one might expect during a rehab. I don't think we can say he was set back any certain amount of time, there is no way to know exactly how long these things take. He seems to be right on the schedule that the Celtics hoped he would be on.

Glad I'm not sick.
