“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.

Re: Gordon Hayward: Scapula fractures are pretty uncommon in the NBA. The average time lost is seven weeks in a very small sample size. The injury is a bit more frequent in baseball and the average time lost there is closer to eight weeks. – 12:01 AM

More on this storyline
On Friday evening, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Hornets forward Gordon Hayward will be out indefinitely with a left shoulder fracture, and Hayward’s wife, Robin, agrees. But that’s not how the Hornets framed it. The Athletic report surfaced shortly after the Hornets listed Hayward as out Friday against the Timberwolves — won 110-108 by Charlotte — with a left shoulder contusion, a significantly lesser ailment than what Charania reported. But Robin disputed the contusion claim on her Instagram Story, noting the injury is significantly worse than the team’s claim. -via New York Post / November 26, 2022
