SALT LAKE CITY — As one more piece of evidence that Gordon Hayward has grown up before our eyes, the Utah Jazz star is now a father.
Hayward's wife, Robyn, delivered the couple's first child on Saturday evening, the Deseret News was informed, giving the small forward and his team one more fan.
By the way, this fan might wear a pink No. 20 jersey.
It's a girl!
