Gordon Hayward is injured, episode 8642. The league’s most famous mullet cut – now Kenrich Williams – will have to step aside once again, for an as-yet-undetermined period, following a fractured shoulder blade. But the winger’s wife reacted this time, accusing the Hornets of not protecting their players.
Friday evening, return of Thanksgiving for almost all the NBA, the occasion for some, like dad LeBron for example, to take advantage of adversaries still in digestion. In Charlotte, we seem to be less lucky: if the Hornets triumphed over the Wolves at the Spectrum Center, Gordon Hayward for his part had to be rested.
Later in the evening, we learned from Shams Charania that Gordy is said to be suffering from a stress fracture of the scapula.. Information corroborated by the wife of the principal concerned, but also accompanied by a little sweet word for the attention of the Hornets:

A bit of context: if the Hornets listed Hayward “out” in the last game, the team’s injury report first evoked a simple shoulder contusion, which allowed Gordon to play the previous game against the 76ers. But in her Instagram story, Hayward’s wife returns to the information given by the Hornets:
“He actually has a fractured shoulder blade…and they played him with it last game…which is why he couldn’t lift his arm. I blame them for not protecting their players. I spoke with the mother of a young player and she said the exact same thing. »
What put a nice boxon in the North Carolina franchise. Ah, Charlotte, an ideal environment to flourish healthily in the NBA, between courts and scandals of non-protection of players, what better dream to evolve?
