YIKES: Ron Hayward Suffer Major Injury During His debut game withe Celtics

Boston Celtic's forward Rob Hayward was carried off the court on a stretcher after fracturing his left tibia only a few minutes in to his debut game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.


 Hayward went up for an alley-oop pass and collided with LeBron James midway through the first quarter. He got his leg twisted underneath him as he came back to the floor. Hayward collapsed under the basket and looked in horror as his left foot was pointing outward.

 "You hurt for him," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said of Hayward, his former star at Butler. "It's a tough, tough deal, but I guess that's part of the risk of injury. I really feel for him."

Kobe offered some words of encouragement....

 Initial reports say it appears to be a clean break he will return to Boston for further test to be ran. Hayward spent the past six seasons with the Utah Jazz before signing with Boston. We wish Ron a speedy recovery!
