Fri Nov 25 2022 | 11:33 | Gordon Hayward Questionable On Friday |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately, he's been somewhat of a mainstay on the injury report so far this season. He's missed eight games already and has appeared as questionable in a handful of the games that did end up playing. He was only able to play 28 minutes in their last game and attempted just four shots all game. Fantasy managers might want to check for updates closer to tipoff just in case. |

Fri Nov 18 2022 | 15:29 | Gordon Hayward Improves To Questionable For Friday’s Game |
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) has been bumped up to questionable ahead of Friday's contest vs. the Bulls, a step in the right direction following an eight-game absence due to a left shoulder contusion. A potential return from Hayward would deliver Charlotte much-needed offensive punch with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined again. Hayward has knocked down at least one triple in each of his eight appearances this season, averaging 17.4 PPG in the process. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off as his status will largely affect the upside and floors of numerous Hornets. |

Wed Nov 16 2022 | 15:30 | Gordon Hayward Misses An Eighth Consecutive Game |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) still isn't ready to return to action Wednesday against his hometown Pacers. He will be sitting out an eighth consecutive game with a left shoulder contusion. With Hayward missing and the Hornets having suffered various other injuries, Kelly Oubre Jr. has enjoyed a lengthy spell as a starter and Jalen McDaniels has been able to get some very good minutes. Hayward will get his next chance to return Friday versus Cleveland, although we haven't heard anything regarding his recovery and it might take a while until he's back healthy again. |

Wed Nov 9 2022 | 15:28 | Gordon Hayward Misses A Fourth Consecutive Game |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) will remain unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. He hurt his left shoulder a week ago against Chicago, leaving Charlotte without another key player. Hayward's injury allowed Jalen McDaniels to make his first start of the season last week, but it was a four-point dud from him and head coach Steve Clifford quickly relegated him back to the bench. He's a very inconsistent performer and it's hard to trust him to get the job done. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) also remaining on the shelf, Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre Jr. will continue to lead the Hornets attack. |

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is out on Monday against Washington. The veteran is dealing with a left shoulder contusion, so he will miss his third consecutive contest. LaMelo Ball (ankle) also remains out, opening the door for Kelly Oubre Jr., P.J. Washington, and Terry Rozier to continue to be the featured options on the offensive end. Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle), who intends to play, may also get involved, but he likely won't produce as he did while Rozier was out of the lineup. |

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) has been listed as out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He exited the team's last game on Wednesday with the same shoulder pain and now he'll miss a full game as well. Jalen McDaniels was the biggest beneficiary after Hayward left and he looks to be the best pickup again. Fantasy managers looking for a forward should for sure take him as a streaming option coming up, especially if Hayward has to miss any more time. |

Wed Nov 2 2022 | 21:27 | Gordon Hayward Won't Return In Second Half |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't return to the second half of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This is a tough break for fantasy managers as Hayward just can't seem to stay on the court. He finished with seven points, three rebounds, and two assists in 16 minutes. Hopefully this isn't serious and he won't miss significant time from this injury. Jalen McDaniels started in the second half and would likely see more minutes going forward, assuming Hayward does miss time. |

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (knee) is expected to make his preseason debut against the Washington Wizards on Monday. The veteran forward is reportedly feeling better, but has missed the first three preseason contests. Hayward is averaging less than 50 games per season over the last three years.

Sat Aug 6 2022 | 23:11 | Heat Targeting Gordon Hayward |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward has received interest from the Heat, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Miami hasn't been successful in acquiring Kevin Durant or Donovan Mitchell, so the team is reportedly looking to bring in Hayward to bolster its roster. However, with the veteran owed more than $61 million over the next two seasons, making a deal for his services difficult. The 32-year-old regressed from a statistical standpoint last season, finishing with averages of 15.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.0 steals. While Hayward's shooting percentages from deep have stayed consistent during the last few seasons, he's had issues staying on the floor, most recently dealing with a foot injury. Wherever he ends up, he'll need to stay healthy for any fantasy manager to benefit from his presence on their roster. |

Fri Apr 8 2022 | 15:09 | Gordon Hayward Will Miss Friday’s Game |
Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Chicago as he continues to battle a sore left foot. Hayward has played all of 17 minutes since Feb. 7, with his absence paving the way for P.J. Washington to remain a staple of the starting five. The Hornets' offense has evolved in Hayward's absence, with Miles Bridges (20.3), LaMelo Ball (20.0), Terry Rozier (19.3), all having surpassed Hayward in terms of PPG average this season. While the veteran could be a savvy DFS asset come the Play-in Tournament or postseason if ultimately cleared, he'll need to display an ability to log 30-plus minutes before he is an option. |

Fri Apr 1 2022 | 17:54 | Gordon Hayward Set To Return On Saturday |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is officially set to make his long-awaited return to the court on Saturday, when the team takes on the Philadelphia 76ers. He is officially listed as probable, but Rod Boone of the Charlotte Hornets stated that Hayward will be in action for the game. The 32-year-old has missed each of the team's last 22 games due to a left ankle sprain. He'll likely be eased into things upon his return, but he will help give the team some much-needed depth. Over 48 games this year, he's averaged 16.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers per game. He'll likely cut into the playing time of Cody Martin and Kelly Oubre Jr. |

Tue Feb 8 2022 | 20:01 | Gordon Hayward Is Out Indefinitely |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is looking at missing an extended amount of time. This is a tough blow to both Hayward and the Hornets roster. It doesn't seem like Hayward can catch a break after recently returning from COVID-19 protocols. The Hornets didn't offer a timetable for Hayward, so fantasy managers can expect him to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Kelly Oubre Jr. and P.J. Washington are expected to have increased roles with Hayward sidelined. Honestly, both players are worth looking at in standard leagues right now. |

Tue Feb 8 2022 | 18:04 | Gordon Hayward Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game |
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 12-year veteran sprained his left ankle in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't return to the game after the injury, so it's no surprise that the team is holding him out for Wednesday's game. It isn't clear how much time Hayward is expected to miss quite yet. While he's out, Kelly Oubre Jr. is in position to see a major workload increase. Cody Martin (ankle) is also out for Wednesday's game, so the team will be significantly shorthanded on the wing. The Hornets have limited wing depth so we may see the team throw out some big lineups with players like Kai Jones and Nick Richards getting some run. |

Mon Feb 7 2022 | 21:07 | Gordon Hayward Won't Return To Monday's Game |
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran suffered a left ankle injury in the first quarter of the game when he took an awkward fall. He walked off the court on his own, but was in noticeable pain. Prior to the injury, he played six minutes and went 1-for-3 from the field while racking up three points and one rebound. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been leaned on heavily in the game and P.J. Washington has seen sturdy minutes as well. Both players, particularly Oubre, stand to gain value if Hayward misses time. 2022 has been rough for Hayward so far as he just recently missed over a week due to a foot injury. |

Fri Feb 4 2022 | 17:38 | Gordon Hayward Active For Friday |
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward is available for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't played since Jan. 21 but has been ramping up his conditioning. Hayward will make his return to the court and should play his normal role of around 30 minutes. Kelly Oubre Jr. is likely going to take the biggest hit with Hayward returning to the court. Despite that, Oubre is worth holding in most formats, even with Hayward back in the rotation. |

Wed Jan 26 2022 | 17:35 | Gordon Hayward Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols |
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Indiana. Hayward had previously missed Charlotte's past two outings due to a foot ailment, with his extended absence paving the way for Cody Martin to remain among the starting five and thereby see an elevated DFS presence. With the Hornets looking to fill the void of Hayward's 17 PPG punch, Miles Bridges and Kelly Oubre Jr. can be seen as having short-term upside in the scoring department. |

Tue Jan 25 2022 | 17:55 | Gordon Hayward, Jalen McDaniels Will Miss Tuesday’s Game |
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (foot) and power forward Jalen McDaniels (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. the Raptors. Both are missing their second consecutive outing, with Cody Martin set to remain among the starting five and thereby see elevated DFS appeal for the time being. Hayward's ailment has been deemed discomfort, giving heart to season-long managers who could use his scoring punch back, while McDaniels is likely to face a more sustained absence due to his sprained left ankle. Miles Bridges will benefit from the added offensive usage, while P.J. Washington played 31 minutes off the bench Sunday. |
