Gordon Hayward’s wife has seen enough.
Last weekThe Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Hornets forward Gordon Hayward will be out indefinitely with a left shoulder fracture. His wife couldn’t agree more but she wasn’t very pleased with how the Hornets framed it. The Athletic report surfaced shortly after the Hornets listed Hayward as out Friday against the Timberwolves with a left shoulder contusion. Robin disputed the contusion claim on her Instagram Story, noting the injury is significantly worse than the team’s claim.
“He actually has a fractured scapula… that they had him play with last game… that’s why he couldn’t move his arm up in the last game,” she wrote.
She later added: “I’m gonna stop here and not get into prior things” before continuing on a subsequent story.

“I’m over them not protecting players. Just was talking with a young player’s mom, and she was saying the same thing…” she concluded.
Gordon Hayward has dealt with injuries numerous times throughout his career. The worst one was easily when he suffered a scary leg injury during his stint with the Boston Celtics in 2017. Prior to that leg injury, Hayward had been pretty reliable to play most of a season.
This season, Hayward has been on the court for 11 games. Don’t cross Hayward’s wife.
