Gordon Hayward breaks ankle - very graphic

It was a crazy sight moreso as the players were praying and crying on court, the commentators didn't speak for about 2 minutes and the atmosphere inside the arena was utter shock... I won't remember the reaction to the injury in a hurry...

Good luck to Hayward and may his career not end like Brandon Roy with crippling injuries

Also, that kind of fall shouldn't have broken his leg. Tightly taped ankles prevent the ankle turning, but they also don't let the ankle absorb the blow of landing like Hayward did. If I were to guess, I'd say his ankles were taped and the break, aka point of most resistance, occurred where the tape either stopped or loosened.

Baller, he's done for the season. Ain't no coming back from that in a hurry. I believe I said I was a doctor in a previous thread

That injury is horrible. But surely isnt a season ending one. I reckon he will play 15 to 20 games and playoffs

Irrespective of a break or fracture, good chance there is significant ligament damage in there as well. If he isn't out the entire season, it's guaranteed to be considerable time at the very least.

Compound fractures are the nasty, "bone-through-skin" fractures. This wasn't one of those and they were apparently able to set the bone when he was on the court. Still, I'd imagine all the season is out but he should be back 100%.

The word "fracture" can be misleading though. PG and Livingston suffered fractures and their bone was though the skin.

nasty - pretty tough to take that pain as well, hope all goes well in his recovery.

The Boomers started with a big 71-43 win over China, Crawford leading the way with 15p and 2s, Barlow 14p, 5r and 2s, Ogilvy 11r and 5r, Martin 7r, 6a and 2s.

Nielsen, Mills, Newley, Maric and Ingles didnt play, nor did Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei for China. Kickert and Baynes picked up 9f in 30mins between them!

Boomers won the boards 43-26, shot 37% from 3p and dished out 17a. China didnt help themselves by shooting 9/27 FT!!!
