INJURIES
Appears on injury report Hayward (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Hayward logged a full workload in Friday's win over the Hornets, posting 27 points in 36 minutes. It's likely that Hayward's injury designation is precautionary, but he hasn't missed a game this year -- which could lead to a night of rest.

Impact Hayward was aggressive early in this contest en route to a season-high in both points and assists. The 20 shots were also the most he has taken across eight games. The veteran forward is contributing across the board so far this season with averages of 18.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.9 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.1 triples across 33.1 minutes per game.

Likely to play against Washington Hayward is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Wizards due to a right hamstring strain.
Impact Hayward has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Friday despite dealing with a hamstring injury. The veteran forward is off to a strong start this season, averaging 17.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.7 minutes across his first seven appearances.

Strong all-around effort in loss Hayward had 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-116 loss to Washington.
Impact The 33-year-old forward has had trouble staying healthy in recent years -- Hayward hasn't played more than 52 games in a season since 2018-19 -- but he looks to be 100 percent to begin the current campaign. He's scored in double digits in all seven games so far, shooting a career-high 44.4 percent from three-point range, and his 1.6 steals a night would also be a career high while his 5.1 assists a game would be his best mark in that category in a decade.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shoulders offense in win Hayward closed Sunday's 124-118 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (9-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
Impact Hayward co-led Charlotte in shot attempts and accounted for 24.3 percent of the team's possessions plus assists. He's been a consistent presence in the Hornets' offense. Hayward's 17.3 points per game marks his highest figure since 2020.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reliable scoring continues Hayward supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-119 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Hayward has connected on exactly six shots in each of his last three games, but he's converted his volume into 17.0 points per game over that span. He continues to supply complementary box score production as well. His scoring isn't flashy, but a booming homecoming opportunity is on deck Saturday against a Pacers team that allowed 155 points to Boston on Wednesday.

Solid performance Hayward totaled 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to Detroit.
Impact Hayward had quality shot volume Friday, and he's compiled 17 rebounds and 11 assists through Charlotte's first two games. Hayward has averaged 15.3 points on 12.1 shots per game across the past two seasons, which is a realistic expectation as long as he remains healthy.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reaches double figures in return Hayward finished with 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block over 25 minutes in Thursday's 127-99 preseason loss to Boston.
Impact Hayward returned Thursday after missing the last two exhibition matchups due to right foot discomfort, finishing as one of five Hornets players to score in double figures while leading all Charlotte starters in steals. Hayward appeared in just two preseason contests, averaging 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals over 24.0 minutes per game.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to return Thursday Hayward (foot) will be available for Thursday's preseason finale against the Celtics.
Impact Hayward has missed the last two exhibition matchups due to right foot discomfort, but he'll have an opportunity for a final tune-up ahead of the regular season. Barring any setbacks, Hayward will likely be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to practice Hayward (foot) returned to practice Monday and could play in Thursday's preseason finale against Boston, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Hayward has been dealing with right foot discomfort, and while it's not considered a serious issue, the Hornets have taken a cautious approach with the oft-injured veteran during preseason action. If healthy, Hayward is slated to start for Charlotte this season, but he could cede some playing time if Brandon Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, dominates out of the gate.

Won't play Thursday Hayward has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Wizards due to right foot discomfort.
Impact Hayward was efficient during Tuesday's preseason loss, but he'll be unavailable for Thursday's matchup. His next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Thunder, and he's considered day-to-day for now.
OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient night in loss Hayward scored 15 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, three rebounds and a steal over 23 minutes in Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Heat.
Impact Hayward was one of six Hornets players to score in double digits in Tuesday's loss. He's coming into the preseason healthy after missing time last season with multiple injuries. The 50 games Hayward played in 2022 and the 47.5 percent shooting were the most since 2019 in his second season with the Celtics, though his 32.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc was the lowest since 2013 with the Jazz. He's part of a crowded rotation at small forward alongside Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller, but the 33-year-old veteran should still command playing time as long as he remains healthy.

Out again Friday Hayward (thumb) will sit out Thursday versus the Rockets.
Impact Hayward will skip a fifth straight game as the Hornets continue to sit most of the team's regular for various reasons. He has one more chance to retake the floor before the season expires, but don't hold your breath.

Still sidelined Tuesday Hayward (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Hayward has been dealing with a left thumb sprain recently and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive matchup. His next opportunity to return will be Friday against the Rockets, while Bryce McGowens and Svi Mykhailiuk could continue to see increased run Tuesday.
APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leading scorer in Sunday's win Hayward had a team-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 110-104 win over the Mavericks.
Impact After a tough stretch earlier in March, Hayward has popped for more than 20 points in three of the last four games, with the Hornets winning all three of them. The veteran forward's performance Sunday came with both Kelly Oubre (shoulder) and Terry Rozier (foot) in street clothes though, and Hayward will likely return to his complementary role in the offense once they get healthy.
