Forget the season. This may have set us back a few years if Hayward doesn't come back the same

This is really bad.  We were counting on Hayward to be a veteran presence, goto #2 scoring option.

And now?  Celtics are in limbo.  We have 30m in cap space tied up in Hayward.  I hope he's going to be ok but likely lost for season and C's are cap strapped now so what moves can they make?

We get a "Disabled Player Exception" to sign, trade for, or claim off waivers a player making up to 50% of Hayward's contract, so long as that player is signed for a one year deal or is in the last year of his contract.

I've felt sick since it happened.  I feel very bad for him most of all.

Me too. It was gruesome. I have a hard time not crying.

Season not over, just no chance at a title run unless. Brown, Smart and Tatum are going to have to show up now.

Realistically, it will be a hard fight just to get past the first round.

Starting lineup is now quite offensively anemic and extremely inexperienced.
What are you talking about???

We made it to the ECF last year, and didn’t give up anything to get Hayward. It will be a similar season to last year. Win 1st round, tough series with Wzards/Raptors, and if we win, get destroyed by Cavs in ECF. But by no means will this put a 1st round series win in jeopardy. Think before you post.
I disagree we didn't have to give up anything to get him. We made a trade to move out Bradley to clear up cap space. We also then sorta overpaid for Kyrie giving up Crowder to sorta balance things out and now here we are.
I'm not saying it will be hard to get past the first round but I disagree we didn't give up anything for him. We gave up a max contract. That's kinda important

Anyone notice that Crowder came down and pushed him up like a bull? It causes Hayward to flip higher and his leg to land really awkward

what kind of player is available? I guess we got to wait to see it anyone gets cut.

Looks like a clean ankle break, he may be fortunate if ligaments are not affected.

did it look as bad as PG13 injury??  or dislocated? if anybody saw it
Yes, it looked like a compound fracture with dislocation as well. His ankle is what it looked like but not sure.

It looks like he landed on  the side of his foot, then his bottom part of his leg bended backwards

which means best case scenerio he broke his ankle  and tore his knee ligaments

VS

what happened to PG13 who landed like Hayward did...but on a forward motion and his femur had to bear all the weight and it snapped


really hope it is only a broken ankle mainly vs broken femur or any part of his leg bone broken

My 1st thought was Crowder just broke Haywards leg....

We could get an injury exception for him, right?

Not that we can find a player in Free Agency as good as Hayward, but we could atleast get some help with that (what could be) an open roster spot.

God Speed Gordon.

This was simply devastating.

Where are we on luxury tax line?  Definitely don't want to go over that.
