Hayward's left leg bent awkwardly after he went up for an alley-oop pass, collided with LeBron James and collapsed under the basket with 6 minutes, 45 seconds left in the first quarter of the season opener.

Hayward was set to fly back with the Celtics to Boston on Tuesday night and go directly to New England Baptist Hospital after landing. ESPN's Michael Wilbon reported after the game that Hayward would have su...
