Originally posted on Hoops Rumors | By Luke Adams | Last updated 12/16/20 New Hornets forward Gordon Hayward has suffered an avulsion fracture of his right fifth metacarpal, the team announced on Wednesday in a press release. In layman’s terms, it’s a broken right pinkie finger for Hayward, who suffered the injury during Charlotte’s preseason game vs. Toronto on Monday. According to the Hornets, the injury will sideline Hayward for the club’s preseason contest on Thursday against Orlando. After that, he’ll be considered day-to-day. While it seems Hayward hasn’t shed his bad injury luck since moving from Boston to Charlotte, this injury doesn’t sound as serious as many of the health issues he dealt with as a Celtic.
