Gordon Hayward "Close" To A Return
10 months agoCharlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (calf) has been sidelined since December 26 and the team never gave an update on him after saying he would be re-evaluated near the end of January. Head coach Steve Clifford said Hayward is "pretty close to being able to come back," but didn't offer any firm timetable. His injury has been listed as a calf strain this whole time, but there hasn't been any official word from the team on the severity or the treatment plan. For now, fantasy managers will have to check back for any updates on Hayward throughout the week. There have been a few reports saying the Hornets are also exploring trade options with Hayward, so that will be another avenue to watch. In the meantime, Brandon Miller will continue seeing big minutes with the starting five.
