The Charlotte Hornets signed small forward Gordon Hayward to a 4-year, $120 million contract.

Wow, interesting move by Charlotte signing a 30-year-old that can’t stay healthy to a massive deal.

Gordon averaged 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists last season, but his injuries over the last few years are concerning.

He’s missed game time due to these injuries:

  • 08/17/2020 – Ankle
  • 03/03/2020 – Right Knee
  • 02/06/2020 – Foot
  • 02/04/2020 – Calf
  • 12/19/2020 – Nose
  • 11/09/2019 – Left Hand
  • 04/08/2019 – Left Ankle Soreness
  • 03/16/2019 – Concussion
  • 02/20/2019 – Right Ankle Sprain
  • 01/28/2019 – Laceration
  • 12/10/2018 – Illness
  • 11/24/2018 – Ankle
  • 10/20/2018 – Ankle
  • 10/17/2017 – Fractured Ankle

Expect Hayward to record similar numbers in a young Charlotte Hornets lineup.
