Gordon Haywards Case Study
CLEVELAND -- Celtics forward Gordon Hayward was stretchered off the floor in Cleveland after suffering a horrific-looking ankle injury a little more than five minutes into his Boston debut Tuesday night.

The team later announced that Hayward fractured his ankle.

Hayward's left leg bent awkwardly after he went up for an alley-oop pass, collided with LeBron James and collapsed under the basket with 6 minutes, 45 seconds left in the first quarter. Teammates and Cavaliers players, including James, rushed to check on him as he was stretchered from the court.
