Hayward hurt again

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He does. That's the point. He didn't go back to NY/NJ where he also played for half a decade, and he didn't go back to his hometown of Dallas. When Kobe died and when it was the 1-year anniversary, Deron only posted Jazz pictures on his Instagram. It's actually not easy to tell from his IG that he played for any other team.

Why Utah? Why come back here where he left under acrimonious circumstances? Why apologise to Coach before he died?

Because his kids grew up here, his wife loved it here. Dwill is just a sports bro. All he wants to do is golf and be outside. Utah is his 2nd home from Dallas. It makes sense for him to make amends with the fan base so he can feel more comfortable and not be a "bad guy" within the state to some.
