The injury he suffer is more serious that Paul George. This might change a bit on his game-play when he recovers. Of course he will have fear now to drive inside the court unlike what on what he dies before he injures. And most of the players suffers major injury decreased efficiency in the. We need now to pray for his recovery. His 120M$ contract might be waive if he didn't recover fast.
Yes the penetration ability will be minimized for sure. In his early season in NBA a s part of Utah Jazz, he is known as one of the best shot blocker in the league especially his trademark of blocking behind. He is a kind of high flyer too as he did some of the facial dunks. All of this will be minimized once he came back for sure.
Hayward's expected recovery will be lasted until March so basically he will not play anymore in around almost a whole season. But that will be depend on his next checking.
another bad injury in Nba... Jeremy Lin, Brooklyn Nets Point Guard, will miss the remainder of the season for knee tendon rupture.
This for Brooklyn will be a bad absence. it will be difficult to find a worthy substitute. Jeremy Lin has a contract of 12.5M$ per season
