Hayward finger injury

[Dr. Jones]

Can't we all pitch and help him relocate it?

Burks..

I'd be thrilled, but I think it's more likely going to be Joe Ingles, though we can get minutes from Joe Johnson and my favorite sleeper Trey Lyles.

I would absolutely love seeing Exum in the starting lineup at the two. His chemistry with Gobert is huge.

You don't let fingers heal fully you will just dislocate or break them again very easily.

And you'all be playing in some discomfort and maybe even pain all year that affects your stroke and therefore percentages and efficiency.

Personally, I'd rather he be out 5-7 weeks and heal right and come back at 100% rather than play in discomfort all year and shoot at a 42/33/76 clip or something.

This is why we got depth. For such circumstances. I'm not too worried about it.

Well it's his off-hand so it would affect his passing, catching, and dribbling.

There's not even a game for he next 2.5 weeks anyway. And our early slate is very tough and I expected us to lose most of the first eight games or so so this isn't so bad

Pessimist.

Couldn't they brace it pretty well and play through? I'm not a doctor so who knows have played with cast like brace on thumb before but obviously the NBA is completely different. Just seems like a small thing to miss that much time. Based on our medical staff this is going to take 6 months to a year to heal properly.

The good news is the Hayward haters can get 10-15 games to see what our squad looks like without Hayward.

Yes, you could tape it to another finger. It will still hurt and it would be all season and playoffs. So you are either going to play with a lesser Hayward all year, or hold him out 10-15 games and have him at 100%.

Preview of what the team is going to look like in 2017 after he opts out and leaves.

Feels like you could tape and put a hard protective cover on it as well to prevent further injury. He may need surgery or something and can't take any contact on it. I think Kobe played with this for a full year. I'm just thinking about my sprained thumb... I played through it and it would get hit and hurt but not reinjured.

Again not a doctor and I'm sure they investigate every way... just can't believe we don't have a better solution available.
