Gordon Hayward - Ruled out vs. Magic Hayward (foot) will not play Thursday against Orlando, as expected, Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports. Impact Hayward was listed as doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. The wing was able to make it back for Saturday's game at Philly, but he may have aggravated the left foot injury that sidelined him from Feb. 9 to March 30. With the play-in tournament just around the corner, Hayward's availability is a massive question mark for the Hornets, who currently sit in 10th place in the East.
