Celtics’ Gordon Hayward just suffered a gruesome ankle injury – NSFA (Anyone)

The Boston Celtics new regime took a big blow right out the gate as shooting guard/small forward Gordon Hayward went up for a Kyrie Irving alley-oop and came down wrong. So wrong.

Everyone’s favorite talking head, Stephen A. Smith –

Gordon Hayward goes down with 6:45 left in 1st. I don't need a doctor to tell me his season is over. Players walked away b/c they couldn't
