Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward (20) dribbles the ball during a basketball game against the LA Clippers at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City on Monday, March 13, 2017.
On Tuesday, a GoFundMe drive was started to try to keep Gordon Hayward a member of the Utah Jazz beyond this summer.
On Wednesday, Hayward tried to redirect the effort to help raise money for cancer research in honor of a former college teammate.
A free agent on July 1, Hayward is a critical piece of the Jazz's future, but he will have the option to sign elsewhere.
