And Hayward just broke his ankle. Tnt cut to the camera showing it then immediately cut away. So gross

I almost threw up. Jesus.

That was hard to watch. Reminded me of the Louisville player from a few years ago.

Was on the hotel treadmill. Had to look away and almost fell off.

Very likeable player and was my 2nd round pick

hope he can recover

"Anything's gotta be better than this 8th inning." - Me, switching over to basketball from baseball 10 minutes ago

What an awful awful way to start the NBA season and I really hope Hayward can eventually 100% recover from such a brutal injury. Like Paul George was. And yeah, the Cavs path to win East just got noticeably easier on Day 1.

I hope GH recovers as soon as possible because that injury was nasty to look at.

You can't see the injury on this, just the reaction from the Cavs' bench.

Reminds me of 2009 Derrick Roland in WA. Donald Sloan was tearing up seeing his best friend in pain and that made me cry. Just so tough to see the pain on the player and teammates. All the best for Hayward.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Roland happened immediately as he came down. Looks like on this one Hayward had his leg sort of saved until it got too far out of whack with his body then it snapped.

Marv Albert just tells "Hayward broke his leg! Hayward broke his leg!" and the camera switched right up to it then immediately switched away.

Hayward looked like he was in shock. T&P

People were acting like the guy had just died on court. Good lord. Broken leg.

Seriously, thoughts and prayers go out to Hayward!

And the leading scorer at the half is Sw**** P off of the bench with 20 points. No one is beating a healthy Warriors team.

Why do you think he's being a hard ass?
