Gordon Hayward: Boston Celtics forward defiant in video message

in #sport • 7 years ago

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward insisted he "will be all right" in a video message shown to fans a day after his horrific injury in the NBA season opener against Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 27-year-old dislocated his left ankle and fractured his left tibia on his NBA debut for Celtics, who he joined in a $128m (£97m) deal.

Prior to Wednesday's game at home to Milwaukee, his video message was shown.

"I want nothing more than to be with my team-mates and walk out on that floor tonight. But I'll be supporting you guys from here and wishing you the best of luck."

The Bucks defeated the Celtics 108-100.

According to ESPN, Hayward is set to have surgery on Wednesday, although Celtics coach Brad Stevens did not estimate when the former Utah Jazz man might return.
