Gordon Hayward Set To Return On Saturday
3 years agoCharlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is officially set to make his long-awaited return to the court on Saturday, when the team takes on the Philadelphia 76ers. He is officially listed as probable, but Rod Boone of the Charlotte Hornets stated that Hayward will be in action for the game. The 32-year-old has missed each of the team's last 22 games due to a left ankle sprain. He'll likely be eased into things upon his return, but he will help give the team some much-needed depth. Over 48 games this year, he's averaged 16.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers per game. He'll likely cut into the playing time of Cody Martin and Kelly Oubre Jr.
