Lazar

Hayward

Hayward had been dealing with an orbital floor fracture, so it’s possible Oklahoma City is sending him to the D-League for a rehab assignment. Regardless, this news should not impact your fantasy league.

Nothing to see here, folks. He’s expected to return on Saturday.

The injury, also known as a ‘blowout fracture’, results from blunt trauma to the facial skeleton around the eye socket. Hayward will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break.

There is no fantasy value here but he’ll be available to play.

Hayward is averaging just five minutes in his 16 appearances in his second NBA season, while shooting just 32 percent from the field.

Hayward played one minute and will not have fantasy value this season.

Hayward won’t have fantasy value in OKC, while the Wolves stand at 15 players under contract.

Scott Brooks called Thabo Sefolosha “on the bubble” in regards to his status, and Lazar Hayward and Reggie Jackson are the guys to step into Cook and Sefolosha’s minimal minutes. Brooks is a big believer in roles, and we’re likely looking at Harden still coming off the bench, so don’t get your hopes up.

It sounds like he could miss some time, which leaves his status for opening night in doubt.

He’d been out with a thumb injury, but is not worth owning in fantasy this season.
