Gordon Hayward: Will miss time with dislocated finger

It’s not the best way for Hayward to start off a potential contract-year, but a dislocated finger typically isn’t too serious of an injury. However, it looks like the Jazz’s starting small forward may miss some time at the beginning of the regular season, although there is no exact timetable for his return as of right now. Should Hayward indeed miss some games, Joe Johnson would be the most likely player to replace him in the starting lineup with Joe Ingles playing more minutes off the bench.
