Last night was the season opener for the Boston Celtics, but it was unfortunately the possible end of the NBA season for Celtics’ star Gordon Hayward.
Hayward’s left leg bent after he went up for a pass and collided with LeBron James. It most certainly was not an intentional collision by any means; Hayward simply had an awkward fall with devastating results. After the game, head coach Brad Stevens informed media that Hayward suffered a fractured tibia and a dislocated ankle.
If you can stomach it, watch the injury below:
