Chris Haynes reported on Friday that Gordon Hayward dislocated a finger in his left hand and will “miss time.”

It’s his non-shooting hand but the Jazz have both the depth to spell him and no need to hurry bringing him back so early in the year.  We’ll have to see if this means he’s missing preseason time or regular season time before making any adjustments to the rotations or projections.

Sources: Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward dislocated finger on left hand and is in process of determining next step. Expected to miss time.

UPDATE: According to Jody Genessy, Hayward will be out six weeks after dislocating and breaking his finger on his left hand. This means the forward will be out for the first month of the season. Rodney Hood, Joe Johnson and George Hill would have a boost in value while Hayward is out.

Bad news. Gordon Hayward suffered a dislocated and broken finger on his left hand. He's expected to miss six weeks, according to sources.
