Headed to Oklahoma City The Hornets are trading Hayward (calf) to the Thunder in exchange for Tre Mann and Davis Bertans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Hayward hasn't played since Dec. 26 due to a left calf strain but is progressing toward a return. The veteran forward is averaging 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.9 minutes across his 25 appearances this season. However, the emergence of rookie Brandon Miller has made the 33-year-old expendable to Charlotte. Hayward will likely compete for a starting spot with Luguentz Dort for a Thunder team with aspirations to make a deep playoff run.

Out for Wednesday Hayward (calf) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Hayward is inching his way toward a return, but Wednesday will not be the day.

Cody Martin and Brandon Miller will continue to pick up the slack in his absence.

His status will need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's game.

NBA debate: How Doc Rivers impacts Bucks, what we're expecting at trade deadline

No timeline for return Hayward (calf) has resumed light on-court work but isn't expected to return to game action for at least another week, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Hayward will miss a 10th consecutive game Wednesday in New Orleans, and the veteran forward looks like he'll have more absences in his future after having thus far made only limited progress in his recovery from the left calf strain he sustained Dec. 26. Until Hayward is able to take part in full-contact practice sessions, the Hornets likely won't be able to provide a clear target date for his return to the lineup. Given the murkiness of his return timetable along with the fact that Charlotte could have all of its other key contributors healthy by the time he's cleared to play again, Hayward is difficult to justify holding in shallower leagues or in leagues with limited injured reserve spots.
