Gordon Hayward Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game
3 years agoCharlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 12-year veteran sprained his left ankle in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't return to the game after the injury, so it's no surprise that the team is holding him out for Wednesday's game. It isn't clear how much time Hayward is expected to miss quite yet. While he's out, Kelly Oubre Jr. is in position to see a major workload increase. Cody Martin (ankle) is also out for Wednesday's game, so the team will be significantly shorthanded on the wing. The Hornets have limited wing depth so we may see the team throw out some big lineups with players like Kai Jones and Nick Richards getting some run.
