Gordon Hayward Back At Practice
7 months agoCharlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) returned to Monday's practice and could play in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Boston Celtics. Hayward entered training camp with a seemingly clean bill of health and played in Charlotte's preseason opener, but he's now nursing some soreness in his right foot. Though the 33-year-old has experienced his fair share of injuries over the years, Hayward's status for Oct. 25's season opener doesn't appear to be in jeopardy at this stage. Hayward's expiring contract on a rebuilding Hornets team makes him a likely trade candidate come February's deadline, but he should supply some low-end fantasy value as a starter in the campaign's early goings. No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller should be nipping at his heels for minutes, however.
