Relevant context: the Paul George injury
Paul George's broken leg was often used as a measuring stick for Hayward's progress, as George famously broke his leg during a scrimmage in the leadup to the 2014 FIBA World Cup when he hit a stanchion that was very clearly too close to the basket. Two forwards, two broken legs. Fair enough.
Hayward's timeline in comparison
Gordon's ankle exploded on October 17th, 2017. In March, theories of his return were quashed. It wasn't until April when we learned that Hayward was jogging again. A second surgery was needed in May. His first time playing basketball against NBA talent was a one-on-one match with Bradley Beal on August 28th.
The prognosis
Despite its gruesome visual, Hayward’s fractured ankle was deemed to be a clean break — lending itself to a straightforward medical procedure. Following his successful bony and ligamentous stabilization surgery on Oct. 18, Hayward said doctors emphasized to him that “if you’re going to have a horrific injury, this is the one to have.”
The rehabilitation
Less than 48 hours after his surgery, Hayward returned home from the hospital on Oct. 20 to start his recovery process.
What Hayward has said
In early November, the forward penned a detailed blog post to speak out for the first time since his injury. The first-hand account detailed the trials and tribulations of the subsequent two weeks, including his thoughts pre- and post-surgery.
