Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward exited Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs with a fractured left hand and will not return, the team announced.
Hayward suffered the injury with under two minutes remaining in the first half, and an X-ray confirmed its severity. He took a pick from LaMarcus Aldridge and was immediately in pain; Marcus Smart replaced him on the court, and Hayward did not join the team during warmups before the second half.
Prior to the injury, Hayward had scored nine points on 4-of-9 shooting (1-for-3 from three) with two rebounds, and one assist, steal and block.
