Former Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward had himself a pretty good week.
The 28-year-old, who missed all but six minutes of the 2017-18 season after suffering a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle in his left leg during his debut with the Boston Celtics, made his long-awaited return to the hardwood on Friday. And he did so without encountering any setbacks.
In 23 minutes of play against the Charlotte Hornets, Hayward scored 10 points, adding three rebounds, one assist and one block. He struggled to connect from distance in the game, missing four of his five 3-point attempts, but did manage to make a living at the free throw line.
