Sounds like #Hornets are not going to have Gordon Hayward for a bit. James Borrego said he’s getting some tests done today.
Asked Borrego if there is concern without him.
“There’s some major concern there,” he said. “… Absolutely anytime Gordon goes out it’s a major concern.” pic.twitter.com/yAEl2lUkt91:18 PM

Hayward in obvious pain after getting rolled up on what looked like his left ankle. It’s not the ankle he sprained last year which ended his season but is the one he broke with the Celtics. Walked off under his own power so hopefully not too serious, tough loss without Cody/Bouk – 7:28 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
How the hell could the Hornets let two possessions go without calling a timeout or committing a foul with Hayward lying on the court? – 7:25 PM
