Gordon Hayward: Out six weeks with broken finger

Original reports stated that Hayward had just dislocated a finger, but further reports show that he also broke the finger on top of the dislocation. With a recovery timetable of six weeks, with reevaluation coming at three weeks, Hayward will likely miss at least the first 12 games of the regular season if the estimation is correct. In that time he is absent, expect Joe Johnson to be the most likely candidate to fill in as the starting small forward with Joe Ingles getting an increase in minutes off the bench.
